If you find it difficult to follow a TV program without subtitles, or ask people to repeat themselves, that may not be because there is something wrong with your hearing.
Instead, experts say that auditory processing disorder (ADP)-a known sign of ADHD-the debt can be.
According to Dr. Sermed Mezher, a general practitioner and influencer established in the UK with more than 344,000 followers on Instagram, can be an inability to follow the dialogue a sign of ADP.
ADP affects about five percent of the population and can make it incredibly difficult to process sounds, including spoken words.
However, people who suffer from the condition usually have a normal hearing.
In an Instagram video that has so far collected more than 1.4 million views, Dr. Mezher from: ‘It is not only people with ADHD who can hear things, but struggling to process them.
“Auditory processing disorder is considered a dysfunction of what is known as the ‘cocktail party effect’ of the brain – where you can selectively concentrate on different parts of your hearing.”
The problem, which affects about half of people with ADHD, refers to the ability of a listener to sharpen specific conversations or sounds, while other background noise is ignored.

Audiologists can diagnose the condition via special tests, some of which can be replicated at home.
For example, testers can ask people to choose details in two pieces of audio that are played at the same time one with speech and the other music.
You could test this at home by playing both music and your favorite TV program and trying to decide what is being said.
Tests are available online elsewhere, such as a basic office by a technology company FortressAlthough these are not medically verified.
Dr. Mezher said: ‘Signs you could have [APD] If you ask people to repeat things much, or you speak too soft or loud for the situation. ‘
He continued in the caption: ‘People with APD may also seem to be inattentive or distracted, especially in group institutions, while in reality they simply have problems processing what is being said.
Other common symptoms are, among other things, that people have difficulty understanding people with a strong accent that differs from yours, problems after spoken instructions and difficulties with similar sounding words.
Dr. Assistance said: “These challenges can influence academic, social and professional life, making early recognition and support essential.”

Symptoms of APD and ADHD often overlap, which means that children are incorrectly diagnosed. Common symptoms of both disorders are, among other things, finding it difficult to listen to what people say, talk noisily and seem uninterested in a conversation
According to the NHS, APD usually develops in childhood and is often found in people with attention, language and learning difficulties – such as ADHD, as well as dyslexia.
This is if disturbing new figures published by the NHS estimation up to 2.5 million people in England could live with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), with more than half a million people waiting for an assessment.
In recent years, doctors have expressed concern about an increase in diagnoses – but this marks the first official estimate of how widespread the condition can be.
ADHD is a neurological disorder with symptoms such as listening to what people say or follow instructions, overlapping with APD.
Other symptoms in children and young people are, among other things, that it is easily distracted, forgotten daily tasks and talk noisily.
About five percent of children and young people in the country are thought in the condition.
This means that a total of 741,000 children and young people aged five to 24 can have the condition, including that without diagnosis.
This is because ADHD campaigners have accused the NHS of chairing a ‘wide failing system’, because it appeared that recipes for ADHD drugs have risen with an alarming 18 percent year after year since the pandemic.
