I miss most of the time the words that are spoken. Its not probably due to hearing problem but the buzz in my head that is making it tough to catch all the words. Also not all the time i am able to think on words and thoughts in my head clearly.

I know it’s so very hard. It’s ojay to take conversation slow and really consider what someone is saying.
Do you write?

This is kind of how I feel at work.
We wear headsets to communicate across the store and it’s very difficult for me to pay any attention to the chatter or comprehend what is being said.

I’m actually hard of hearing but I can’t afford hearing aids. I miss what people say all the time.

They’re insanely expensive, it’s 2019 they should be like $99 a pair.
It’s not like they’re using cutting edge technology.
My mom tried to get a pair and they wanted almost 3 grand, lol.

I was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder about a year before being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. So, I was 22, I think. I didn’t have auditory processing problems until I started getting my first psychosis in high school, though, which is interesting. I really struggled in high school. I use subtitles when I watch TV and I look at people’s mouths when they talk.
A lot of Sz/SzA people have auditory processing problems, it seems. I equate my auditory processing disorder to cognitive symptoms of my schizoaffective.

That’s crazy. I bet they cost under $50 a pair to manufacture. All about the benjamins.

Closed captioning on TV has helped a lot when I have trouble following dialogue- it makes it a lot easier to follow what’s happening and also gets rid of any doubts I might have about hearing things that aren’t there
