That's pretty interesting. I feel like I have a hard time understanding people in group settings. It's not uncommon that I have to ask people to repeat themselves, and I feel I do this much more than other people. I'm also not great at understanding song lyrics, but I feel like most people can't figure them out either (based on all the faulty lyrics out there).
In one-on-one conversations, I'm usually fine though. Is this what you experience, or is it much more dramatic?
- Mz 14y agoPeople with auditory processing problems are negatively impacted by background noise and tend to supplement their understanding of what was said with lip reading, often without consciously realizing it. So they tend to do much better in one on one discussions, which tend to have less background noise and are typically more conducive to lip reading than group settings.

I can understand people perfectly fine in a quiet setting. Therefore I avoid noisy places, which does negatively impact social life (especially in younger years).
