Reply to comment by LadyGrey-3 in FDA change ushers in cheaper, easier-to-get hearing aids by AsslessBaboon

Sorry for the delay in responding!

​

Where can I find more information on this? And how would I go about asking my doctor and/or finding someone to do this test?

“CAPD” testing is completed by an audiologist who specializes in that area (the average audiologist is not completing this testing). I would honestly google “central auditory processing testing near me” and see if there is an audiologist with a private practice dedicated to this specialty. If not, you could contact your last audiologist and see if they have any good names to refer you to.

Otherwise, you could potentially cut to the chase and try a program for auditory processing training online. I know LACE is a popular program that is self-guided. It would be worth getting a proper diagnosis though if possible.

Thank you! I live in a medium sized city in Iowa, so I should be able to hopefully find someone near by. And it's enough of a problem that I'm willing to travel if need be to get the testing done. It's so frustrating when people sound like nonsense to me when I know they're using actual words. Thank you for the information!!
