#auditory perception
Not sure if it’s like a problem but every time someone talks to me, there’s a 50% chance that I don’t hear them properly and instead of words I just hear gibberish
Look up “auditory discrimination” and “auditory processing disorder.” Whether or not they apply to you, it’ll be interesting and even useful.
I have average or better hearing in every area except auditory discrimination, where I have difficulty. If there’s background noise, people are too far away or facing away from me, or the full moon is in the 348th house of whatever, their voice is loud, but it sounds like gibberish, as you describe. I can compensate by using context to figure out missing words here or there, but when over half the sentence has to be filled in, or I lack context, my brain just gives up and goes “here, have some gibberish.’
If that’s not causing you problems, awesome!
