Re: Vent time!

Hmm.. Ive never heard of it before. A lot of that makes sense… I do have a hard time hearing in a lot of background noise, but Im almost positive I have hearing damage. I thought thats why I heard the wrong words. Everything else just seems like my ADD. I can hear the words being said, I just cant for some reason, comprehend what they mean.

I can understand concepts… They HAVE to be spoken, I have to SEE them written, and I NEED an example or I wont get it. I can read and not understand, or I can hear and not understand, but I have to be reading and hearing it at the same time for directions. ALL the time I need an example. ALWAYS! Well, reading isnt a good way to word that… I have to see it in my head. Reading the words helps because… oh wait… if I see the word I can understand… hmmm… interesting. They can say “the cat is black” (very simple example), I know what a cat is… I know what the colour black is… but to see the sentence “the cat is black” then I can follow while hearing it. Bleh!

Hmmm… I dont know! I wouldnt even know where to get tested for this. Small towns are not cool at times. I will get my hearing checked, I know for sure I MUST have some damage. Certain tones I have a really hard time with. Lower voices… like my brother. I swear he talks quiet just to bug me! But he says hes talking normal. If im facing away from someone I cant really hear them, or if theres a lot of background noise I cant hear very well. I figure hearing damage because since I was born, my dad squealed his electric guitar super loud… Listened to that my entire life, then I started playing instruments too and would always play loud. Im only 23, so that sucks if I have damage already.
