Highly relevant for those of us with #autism, #ADHD, or other conditions that interfere with #AuditoryProcessing! Try tapping a beat with your finger at a pace of about twice a second.
@hellomiakoda This!
As a fellow #actuallyautistic human with #auditoryprocessing difficulties, I use closed #captions full time. The auto-generating ones on #youtube and other #tech like #msteams #googlemeet and #zoom range from OK to atrocious, and at the drop of a hat. If someone has an accent or is speaking quickly? Forget it. The level of purely unnecessary difficulty just increased exponentially.

Time for a new #Introduction . I’m a Lecturer in #Neuroscience in #London at the #UniversityOfRoehampton . I study #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing , #Audiology , & #Hearing ; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding . I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia .
My home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat .

Yes, the #AuditoryProcessing is a thing! Now try it in a new-to-you language!
My oldest has an #AuditoryProcessing disorder, where they can hear fine but can’t process speech where there’s a lot of ambient noise or multiple conversations. They describe it as “hearing in cursive.” 
Auditory processing issues plus anxiety equals something something. Was spotting someone at the gym today. Thought they were asking for help when what they were saying was for me not to touch the bar. Ended up with them pissed at me when I thought I was helping, and now my mood is low. Why is my brain like this? #ActuallyAutistic #gym #AuditoryProcessing
Is anyone studying (or know someone who is) a correlation between a decline in auditory processing and the increased use of smartphones? #auditoryprocessing #smartphones #neuroscienceresearch #NeuroScience
Gaah, documentaries. Do NOT slap music on to make things seem supposedly more emotional when your narrators are still relaying information.
Latest example now being the 1942-1944 years about the Third Reich slaves. I'd heard everything fine, and then all of a sudden with music blurring the sound, I couldn't understand a thing because of not hearing the words until trying to turn the volume up. Which helps only marginally with some things.
The most embarrassing part of auditory processing disorder is not always knowing which direction sounds are coming from.
Folks I work with is get impressed by how I identify them when they walk up behind me. But I really can’t tell they’re there at all by sound. I have a mirrored pen holder on my desk to compensate for this problem.
I’m just as shocked they don’t notice how I do it.

I guess I should probably do an #Introduction as well. I’m a #Neuroscience #Postdoc in #Spain studying #NoiseExposure & #HearingLoss & how it affects #AuditoryProcessing, #Audiology, & #Hearing; particularly #SpeechInNoise & #PredictiveCoding. I focus on #HiddenHearingLoss noise exposure & I’m really interested in the intersection between noise exposure & #Neurodivergent conditions like #Autism & #Schizophrenia.
My permanent home is a #Boat & most of my pictures here involve my #Cat.
I just realized why I hate #remoteworking when everyone around me seems to love it: it fucks with my #AuDHD #masking.
I didn't realize until I was forced to WFH in 2020 just how much I rely on #bodydoubling to function: everything from assessing how hard I'm supposed to be working based on the people around me, to remembering to each lunch. I'm much better at conversation IRL - being on the phone constantly with people whose lips I can't see messes with my #auditoryprocessing, which makes me more socially anxious, which makes it harder to focus and retain information. It threw off the daily routine I was precariously managing. I can't just copy the emotional reactions of everyone around me = I don't know what the "appropriate" emotional reactions are for situations = I just default to constant anxiety.
I feel bad because so many #neurodivergent folks really prefer #WFH but I selfishly want y'all to come back to the office so I can unfuck my life 
Am I alone here, @actuallyautistic ?
@Zed_Czar @halo This recent @Vox video describes a few additional reasons. If you aren’t listening under the ideal conditions for which the sound is mixed, you’ll miss a lot, and there’s not much you can do to work around it.
#SoundEngineering #Subtitles #AuditoryProcessing #Dialogue #Movies
Today I learned that my #hearing / #AuditoryProcessing isn't getting worse - it's that #TV shows and films are now increasingly likely to mix their #audio for #SurroundSound, where the dialogue track is intended to come out of the speaker close behind you, so they tend to put it really quiet in the mix. Hence why I need to put subtitles on to follow dialogue on shows, but I never used to. Which is... bonkers, because who tf uses surround sound? Aren't we all streaming on our laptops?
Could somebody write captions for this please? I'm having trouble understanding it.
Mostly nerdy good fun, but also explains why phones are hell for people with #auditoryProcessing issues.
Just leaving this here. #NeuroDivergent #AuditoryProcessing #BrainsWiredDifferent
Wahoo!
I have #auditoryProcessing issues, my phone on mute because I Can't Even...
And can't access my own voicemail without being reduced to tears.
BUT.... because I was fucking around on mastodon I had my phone in my hand when a cancellation for a neuro consult called!
Thanks #mastodon!
Receptionist was super nice about following with an email so I could communicate that way.
It is worth asking for your weird lil #accessability needs, people are surprisingly kind.
I thought I would make a list of the conditions I struggle with, in case it helps make connections to others with similar struggles 
#depression #SocialAnxiety #Agoraphobia #PanicDisorder #PTSD #Insomnia #arthritis #ChronicPain #ADHD #SensoryProcessing #AuditoryProcessing #NonVerbalLearningDisorder #LearningDisability. I also wanted to add a list of things that interest me: #Dogs #ServiceDog #Horror #Paranormal #TrueCrime #Cats #SocialJustice #History #MobilityAids
