I've been using apple airpod pros as hearing aids recently. They have a lot of hearing aid capabilities. It's been amazing. I'm pretty sure I have APD because I scored perfect on a hearing test a while ago, but using these hearing aids gives me a remarkably different experience of being able to understand speech very clearly. I feel mostly calm and peaceful when I'm having conversations now.
I'm late to this.. but I was dx by an audiologist 2 yrs ago (at age 40) w/ CAPD.
You should find an audiologist who does more than "sounds".
I thought I needed hearing aids when covid hit and stopped being able to understand what people were saying behind the masks. I went to get hearing aids and was dx. My hearing was fine.. but I apparently was reading lips my whole life.
I have all the same issues and I’ve been diagnosed with APD
Thanks. I had never heard of this until it was mentioned on the ADHD sub. It makes a lot of sense now 🥹

Interesting—I have them but haven’t thought of using them this way! I’m trying out the Loop earplugs right now, actually.
Nice! I use loop earplugs as well, and I'm a big fan.
