#audio processing difficulties

[in-sufficientdata]

I have audio processing difficulties, but I've been compensating for it for years, in my own way: I use subtitles when I watch things, I carefully watch people's mouths if they're talking to me in a crowded place, and I teach my kids to look at me when speaking.

I have the most trouble, actually, when there's white noise behind someone speaking, but crowded places in general give me trouble. I know it happened many times where I got someone's order wrong as a server because the din of the dining room made it hard to understand.

One thing I do is cup my right ear and ask people to repeat themselves - they think it's because I'm hard of hearing, but it's because the right ear is better for listening to information. (I read this in a book called 'Music, the Brain, and Ecstasy'. The left brain, which controls the right ear, processes math and such, while the right brain processes music. In untrained people they get more out of music via the left ear, but in a trained musician like myself, it flips to the right ear.)

Anyway I definitely notice that if I cup my left ear and listen to speech via that ear, it comes out like garbled nonsense, so I have a lot more success just processing it via the right ear when I need to.

If there's a motor running or a fan or something though, forget it.

Further to what I just reblogged: is anyone else having an extremely hard time figuring out what’s happening in many scenes of The Magnus Protocol? I never had this issue with The Magnus Archives. The sound editing seems to be less clean/less precise in TMAGP than in TMA.

one of the most heartbreaking things about the transfem thing i went to yesterday was this one older trans woman i spoke to who is just finally starting to transition after knowing for so, so long, and whenever she would say trans or other related words, she always lowered her voice as she said the word like she was afraid someone would hear her say it

[lylahammar]

is it an ADHD thing to not be able to conceptualize how far sound travels, or is that just a me thing

like I'm always playin videos on my phone in the kitchen and I assume that I'm the only one close enough to hear it but then someone across the room will comment on it and I'll be like :O

[natjennie]

has anybody considered a transcript for series 5 because it's not available ahem unofficially with subtitles as far as I know. is that something people would be interested in.

Dyslexia and Dysgraphia with Balloon

after having done Hopefully enough research, i would like to propose that balloon has phonological dyslexia (the common type of dyslexia) and linguistic dysgraphia. this isn’t very long, just an explanation of a headcanon i enjoy :) also i use she/her for balloon in this but pronouns are irrelevant to these diagnoses, i just prefer to refer to balloon this way.

so let’s start with a Classic. multiple times in the series, balloon misinterprets “flour” to mean “flower”. she is struggling to decode the word “flour” and differentiate it from “flower”, leaning on the phonetic pronunciation that seems more logical to her. this is an issue with homophone confusion rather than difficulty spelling an irregular word, which is why i chose phonological dyslexia to explain this (i considered surface dyslexia for a while). i also disregarded audio processing disorder because there is more evidence to balloon struggling to read and write than there is to her struggling to process spoken words, meaning that the mix-up here can be explained with phonological dyslexia.

there are more examples of her having trouble with forming words based on their sounds. this problem follows her into the way she writes. her graffiti in breaking the ice is a great example of her words being spelled incorrectly and very literally. “dident” has an e added to it to replicate the pronunciation, and “doo” and “stoopid” are both misspellings of familiar words.

for this, i chose linguistic dysgraphia (aka dyslexic dysgraphia, but i find the term “linguistic” easier to use). as you can see here, she has bouts of random capitalisation such as the D at the end of “stoopid” (also an example of problems with consistent letter sizing) and the way her sentence becomes all caps after writing her name (“BallooN DIDENT DOO THIS”). her handwriting is poor and her sentence is disorganized, with strange margins at the beginning of her line breaks. i decided on linguistic dysgraphia rather than spatial or motor dysgraphia for the fact that her handwriting and letter sizing improves significantly when she’s focusing, and that she has no trouble drawing. observe underneath.

this page is a great example of improved but still impaired writing. her handwriting is easier to read, but a lot of this is still written in all caps (a strategy sometimes used by dysgraphics who have trouble with lowercase letters or the varied sizing of capitals). the letter sizing changes noticeably from sentence to sentence (“HEY OJ!~” is a lot larger than the words surrounding it) but it doesn’t change much within the same words anymore, such as in her graffiti. the organisation of words on the page, however, is quite messy. she leaves large chunks of space in random areas and writes different sentences all over the page. this indicates difficulty planning written language, common with linguistic dysgraphia. as mentioned earlier, she has no significant trouble drawing, which we can observe with these doodles. overall, this is much better and shows that she was focusing on this page, but there are still issues with writing that we can infer.

thanks for reading 🫶 this required a Lot more research than i expected but i had fun

As far as tiny proof they like to argue instead of the big stuff to debunk, like the lip looks, sure, maybe an accident, but what I can't get over is this:

That is such a specific character choice. An eyes-open kiss. As an actor, even, you have to actively choose to override your instinct to close your eyes. A lip look is one thing - I look at people's lips to read them to help with audio processing difficulties. Sometimes people are just examining your facial expression. There are lots of passive, alternate reasons to do lots of things.

But Finn Wolfhard had to override his eyes' instinct to close in order to do this. That is a very specific, highly motivated choice that needs strong justification. It is either directed specifically or he knows this about Mike strongly enough to not fear an exchange of 'hey, why the fuck are you doing that?' 'he's gay to me' 'what? don't do things like that'

It is Finn Wolfhard's place to interpret, not headcanon characters. So either he made this choice based off of the confirmed knowledge that Mike's feelings inform it or he was specifically asked to do it.

Either way, keeping your eyes open in a kiss is in no way a passive thing to do. And in no way a hesitant, throw away, or experimental acting choice in a scene. It has to be specific, justified, and highly confident to even try in the first place.

But he did this every take. Maybe even instinctively closed his eyes one take and they had to call cut and shoot it again.

PSA FROM EXHAUSTION.

Signed up for a series of online lectures. Couldn't understand a word, couldn't lip-read speaker (which is very difficult anyway). Couldn't participate, couldn't engage, couldn't understand. Had to leave because it didn't even occur to them to put captions on

Folks, if you are posting ANY video online or send it to another human, please enable captions/subtitles.

Deaf people need captions

Hard of hearing people need captions

People with audio processing conditions need captions

People with ADHD often need captions to maintain attention

People who are not native speakers of the primary language need captions

People who are watching something in a private space and are not able to watch with volume need captions

People with learning difficulties/differences/disabilities need captions

People trying to watch something with bad audio recording need captions

People who have migraines/headaches and really can't deal with sound but still need to watch the video (for whatever reason) need captions

People who have colds/ear infections/went to a concert without ear protection and have bad tinnitus need captions

People who are very new to a topic need captions

People who are multi-tasking need captions

people with misophonia need captions

People who are neurospicy and just need fucking captions need fucking caption

People need captions.

And, whilst I have your attention, don't just use autocraptions from the computer that only get about 65%. I mean, look-- I'll take auto craptions over nothing, but there is a reason deaf people cal them 'craptions.' We hate them, it's very often word salad, and it's just useless. You can process the video through with autocraptions, and then go in and make corrections where the craptions got it wrong. And, if you feel super fancy, you could even put in things like full stops and commas to make it easier to read.

Also, when captioning, please put actions/reactions in brackets. Anything off screen, any noises we may not be able to hear. Examples: [Audience cheers] [Explosion off screen, people shouting] [sound of phone ringing.]

If something is inaudible or the sound does not catch what they said, please signify this. If it's a montage and there's music with no dialogue, say this. Examples:

[Mulcahy speaks indistinctly.]

[inaudible]

[audio cuts out]

[no audio, no music]

[music- Sinatra' song (song) plays; no audible dialogue or sound from scenes]

[dialogue from film 'My Darling Clementine' plays in background whilst Hawkeye whistles]

[music is interrupted by the sound of a record being ripped or pulled off a record]

If you just feel REALLY generous to the audience and really want me to love you, please feel free to put tone that I might miss, such as [Hawkeye whispers] or [Klinger shouts]. Maybe it's visible on the screen from expressions/body language, maybe not.

Hawkeye: [imitates Groucho] Hello, Room Service? Send up a larger room.

Hawkeye [imitates British accent:] [drops accent]

And, when there may be confusion on when characters are speaking. Examples:

[Multiple characters talk at once.]

Potter: [speaks dialogue from 'My Darling Clementine' at the same time as a character in the film]:

Margaret [interrupts Frank]:

Hawkeye and BJ [speaking together:]

Also also, if there are multiple speakers, please show this. [speaker 1: ] [Speaker 2]:

Even if you don't receive a request from anyone to put on captions, please just add captions. Simple accessibility considerations, please. Some people don't even realise they need captions until they see then and go 'oh, yay. Captions.'

I know it may take a little bit of time and planning, but there are more of us out there than you realise. So please, just add captions.

If you ever doubt how important captions might be to someone, sometime just put on a video. Put on an episode of a show you haven't seen before. Mute it, watch it with no captions. See just how much you manage to get without ANY captions.

CAPTIONS.

When I waited tables I always had much more trouble taking orders in a 'quiet' restaurant than one full of customers, because of the noise of the salad coolers and the music from the ceiling. If the restaurant was full I could filter out the sound of multiple people talking.

Hi there!! I hope that this is okay to ask, but could you talk about what hearing aids assist you with? I'm questioning if they might help me, but idk if I should bring it up with my doctor yet cause I'm still doing research.

How do hearing aids benefit you and your audio processing disorder? :)

Great question! As a brief rundown, for those unfamiliar, auditory processing disorder (APD) is a disorder where the ears hear sounds fine (sometimes better than fine!) but the brain scrambles the auditory information, which can cause a person to mishear words (e.g last week at jujitsu, Sensei said, “Everybody on the mats” and I heard, “Everybody um the nuts”. I figured out what he meant by watching everyone else, because I knew that what I heard didn’t make sense as a thing for him to say!)

APD can also include sensory overload from auditory input, and often makes being in crowded public spaces super overwhelming. Trying to understand more than one person talking at a time, or listening to someone with noise in the background, are also really hard!

These days, there are special hearing aids called low-gain hearing aids, that a person with APD can use to filter out certain sounds, and enhance others. Most hearing aids connect to an app on your phone, and can be adjusted via Bluetooth to increase or decrease the volume and sharpness of certain sounds. The “low gain” means the volume amplification is minimal, for people who don’t have hearing loss. They clarify sounds without just making them unnecessarily louder.

I got low-gain hearing aids about a year ago. I had to go to an audiology specialist to diagnose my APD, since most typical audiologists don’t know much about it and can’t test for it.

When I got the diagnosis, I spoke to a regular audiologist, who set me up with low gain hearing aids. Mine are Phonak. I’ll admit that I don’t wear them as often as I should, because I have sensory difficulties with the wires in my ears, and the part that hooks over the backs of my ears makes them sore. When I do wear them however, they definitely make it easier to understand what people are saying, and I don’t misinterpret them as talking randomly about nuts!

[moomeecore]

at this point any time i discuss auditory sensory issues and someone says they have them too in order to get a one up on me when they disagree with me in a fundamentally redicolous way that implies they either don't actually know what sensory issues are or are lying their asses off, or just have sensory issues so minor that they shouldn't be involved in the conversation on them i gotta send them like. a quiz or smthn . my idea . bc this I'm never gonna fake claim anyone but this is a specific symtom and we need to gatekeep it soooo hard bc nobody fucking knows what it is

if you don't answer yes to most of these questions (except number 2, which should be a solid NO), you aren't allowed to give your unsolicited opinion on auditory sensory issues

1. has a noise ever directly caused you to have a full blown anxiety attack. it does not count if you did not have difficulty breathing over it

2. have you ever gone a single, individual day in your life where a sound did not signifigantly upset you (if you answered yes, back down right the fuck now)

3. do other people go "i didn't even hear that until you pointed it out" on a frequent basis when you say a sound is bothering you

4. when people play music at parties, do you typically struggle to tune it out, to the point that it distracts you from taking to people

5. do quiet sounds (buzzing/humming from radiator, sounds of pencil scratching, sounds of cutlery/silverware, sounds of tapping on ipad with stylus) aggrivate you to the point of making it difficult to focus, on a regular basis- as in, every day or almost every day. AT LEAST once a week

6. would you describe certain sounds as "like someone took a pizza cutter, sliced it through my head, and started sawing at my brain"

7. do repetitive noises (beeping, tapping, ticking) frequently get "stuck in your head" - even after the noise is turned off you still hear it

8. have you ever been pushed to tears over a sound that upset you? more importantly, does this happen to you frequently enough that you would say that it's happened at least once every year of your life that you can remember

9. when you wear earplugs or noise cancelling headphones (or both at the same time), does it, even in the best case scenario, still usually not block out all the sounds that are bothering you

10. has an upsetting noise pushed you to the point of considering or enacting self harm in order to distract yourself from the pain and discomfort by inducing a comparable physical pain on your body

11. would you consider the act of tripping down the stairs and falling on your face, without lasting injury but still extreme pain, to be generally preferable to hearing your least favorite sounds

12. when somebody plays audio on a device out loud does the audio quality typically interrupt your ability to process, enjoy, and understand the music. this can vary a lot based on device, sound, and how well you're doing mentally, but would you at least say that a good portion if the time, when someone plays audio on a device out loud (radio, phone, speaker) it comes out as very significantly more unintelligible than if you listened to it on headphones

13. when a sound upsets you, do you often (near daily or daily basis) experience a headache as a result?

14. when a sound upsets you, do you, much of the time (enough that you wouldn't consider it infrequent - you can think of more examples of this happening than you could count), cause physical pain/reaction beyond headaches - eye strain, breathing difficulty, tensed muscles, chest pain, heart palpitations

15. has an upsetting sound, more than once, caused you to have difficulty forming sentences (difficulty thinking of words, difficulty speaking- stuttering or inability to get words out even if you try)

16. has an upsetting sound, more than once, impaired your ability to walk or move / has it caused involuntary shaking and jittering

17. growing up, did you have a noticeable avoidance of public spaces because of sound? and/or did your parents avoid taking you out in public because of unusually severe and frequent "temper tantrums"?

18. do you, today, still avoid certain places because of potential sounds?

19. growing up, including middle and high school, have you ever had to leave school early because you got so overwhelmed by sounds that it made you unable to function (couldn't talk, couldn't participate in class, started throwing up, started crying, had a panic attack)

20. did the auditory enviorment in school cause such difficulty that you either considered or did in fact move to online school, drop out, or switch to a smaller school (college counts)

21. does your ability to talk, walk, process your enviorment, react at a reasonable time, or understand what's going on, diminish/get worse in public spaces, to at least some extent, to this day?

22. have you ever been so bothered by a noise coming from outside your house that you've, in a desperate attempt to find it and get rid of it, gone in search for it, walking around your neighborhood feeling like some sort of decreped beast on the hunt for blood. bonus points if it's the middle of the night. bonus bonus points if it's winter and bonus bonus bonus points if you were so distressed you didn't bother to dress appropriately for the weather. yes this has happened to me multiple times why do you ask

23. have you ever asked someone to stop making a sound? this one seems like a no brainer but i heard a horror story from my friend where somebody told him "i have sensory issued and ive never asked someone to quiet down for me 😌" and if this is you? never speak to me

Autistic Sensory Differences

What are they?

Autistic people experience the sensory world very differently from non-Autistic people. One Autistic person might be hyper-sensitive to certain sensory experiences, and do whatever to avoid them, whereas another might be hypo-sensitive and crave heavy sensory input (or both/a mix). Sensory differences include the main 5 senses:

Sight

Sound

Touch

Smell

Taste

addition to 3 lesser-known senses:

Interception

Movement

Balance

SIGHT: A person might struggle with intense eye contact, bright lights, a chaotic mix of colours or a lack of visuals for support. Another might seek out loud colours, lots of lighting or certain visuals (e.g. shiny things).

What might help:

Sunglasses to block out light

Reducing eye contact

Using visual prompts such as labels/lists

Using calm/dim/ mood lighting

SOUND: A person might struggle with loud/sudden noises, overlapping voices, certain pitches or a lack of noise. Another might seek out loud music, repetitive sounds/words/songs or white noise.

What might help:

Using subtitles for videos when the audio is too overwhelming

Wearing headphones to reduce noise/utilise music for comfort

Using ear plugs to lower background volume

TOUCH: A person might struggle with rough surfaces and textures, the feeling of dirt or unclean skin, clothes labels or human contact (e.g. hugs, handshakes etc.).

Another might seek out objects to squeeze, fabrics to feel or people to embrace.

What might help:

Setting a boundary to not be touched without consent

Removing fabrics and materials from your environment that you dislike

Find clothes with stamped labels rather than ones with external tags

SMELL: A person might struggle with strong or pungent smells, odours that are too overwhelming for them, or just too many different smells at once. Another might seek out powerful smells or like to overload themselves on favourite scents.

What might help:

Keep to hand something that smells nice to you to counter any bad smells

Use unscented products

Use candles, diffusers or air fresheners to surround yourself with comforting smells

TASTE: A person might struggle with different textures in food (e.g. soft with crunchy), certain flavours or unfamiliar foods. Another might seek out hot/spicy/sour foods or chewy/stimmy foods.

What might help:

Providing familiar/safe foods at meals

Don't force trying new foods if not interested

Be aware of clashing textures

INTERCEPTION (processing info about physical needs on and inside the body):

A person might struggle with recognising physical needs (e.g. going to the toilet, feeling unwell, needing to eat/drink) whilst another might feel them intensely.

What might help:

Creating routines/alarms/reminders for fulfilling bodily needs

Be well prepared/equipped to fulfil needs e.g. taking water with you to places

Fulfilling bodily needs earlier to avoid pains of thirst, hunger, full bladder etc.

MOUEMENT (Proprioception): A person might struggle with an overly aware sense of body positioning, becoming tired easily from movement or disliking tight clothes. Another might seek out physical activity (running, climbing etc.), have less awareness of personal space and have a need to fidget/cannot remain still.

What might help:

Use of deep-pressure products like weighted blankets

Keeping active through slower movements, e.g. walking instead of running

BALANCE (Vestibular): A person might struggle with sensitivities to balance and spatial orientation if moving too fast or have difficulties with motion sickness.

Another might struggle with not moving at all or seek out movements such as dancing and swinging around.

What might help:

Using trampolines, rollercoasters, rocking chairs to meet vestibular needs

Physical support such as with stairs to help control balance with steps

Sensory Processing

[invisiblemelonmoose]

Kris "head"canons as a treat for myself (head in quotes because they're based off of things that happen or are mentioned in game):

Kris has dyslexia, audio processing issues, and hates writing. She hates reading because it's difficult for her and has difficulty understanding what people say the first time (descriptive text when looking at books in labs as well as a reference to Vietnamese Crystal). While her hand writing in Japanese is incredibly neat, it takes her forever because she can't read what she wrote otherwise and learns to keep a voice recorder on her at all times when she eventually starts doing field notes. Speech to text is a total mew-send to her.

I think I've headcanoned before that she prefers research over battling, but I'm reconning myself because I think her enjoyment of battling is in the game text somewhere, but I'll look it up later (if anyone wants to refer me to specific lines, I'd love you forever). I'm gonna posit she's more like Kukui who likes to wrastle mons in the wild and record her findings. She likes camping out in nature and getting dirty. (I know I imposea lot of myself on her, but I don't want to contradict anything specifically mentioned in canon)

If she were to become a professor (along with Battle Tower leader), she'd either specialize on happiness evolutions, shinies, or diurnal/nocturnal pokemon ecology (all new discoveries in second gen).

While her most famous connection is with suicune, she also holds a deep connection with celebi (literally the first time you can get it is in Japanese Crystal with the mobile adaptor). She has no problem spamming legendaries in a battle (Pokémon Stadium 2). Eat shit.

She's a mama's girl and loves when her mom surprises her with room decor (money saving milestones). She likes to visit just to see her and play with her new toys decorations before heading out again.

As there are no kids her age nearby growing up (Newbark Town in gsc), she never really learned how to socialize except from what she saw on TV or (attempted) to read in books, so she kinda talks a bit strangely (implied conversation from trainer reactions) and both over and undershares when she finally makes her first friend, Silver. He's in the same boat, tho, so it's not like he can judge. She also has no idea how to read a room (interrupting Misty's date).

An Old Project of Mine...

There was a girl I was working with some years ago, for some years, on hypnotizing and bimbofying her, or more accurately, making her into a perfect cow.

To start with, she was a C-cup, A-B student with multiple honors classes, and was a switch, submissive to men, dominant to women. She was an avid roleplayer, as she couldn't get the itch scratched IRL due to a lack of community, hence how we met online.

It started slowly, nightly audio tracks for her to sleep to, seep the messages into her subconscious mind, cam sessions to keep her nice and happy in the mean time!

Eventually, we started on the physical changes. Changing up her diet to include foods such as almonds, eggs, cheese, and milk, as well as some name brand lactation-inducing medication she included into her meals and drinks.

The first change to happen was her starting to have difficulty reading. It started bit by bit, where she would lose sentences and have to go back, but eventually got to the point where she fully lost the ability to focus while reading, losing the ability to roleplay in the process and having to fully rely on our cam sessions for any sort of relief. She ended up dropping out of school for failing.

Second thing to change, was the change from a switch to a full-on sub with no desire to dominate, unless it was, as we discussed, a "fellow cow to help teach the ropes".

Third, and this took the longest, was the gradual increase in bust size. She went up to a DD cup, and at her peak of lactation when she was properly hydrated, could produce half a cup. She leaked constantly, usually keeping pads under her bra or shirt when ordered to go braless.

Fourth change was the most fun, in my opinion. She started to get desperately masochistic. We were planning on how to get here from there to here, and as it would be a multiple-day drive, she insisted that I fist until her holes were ruined the night we'd be at a hotel/motel. Another cam session, she wanted orders for nipple torture, all quite fun!

There was one moment deep in the hypnosis where her old self peaked through, and was utterly terrified that she was failing every class, couldn't stop mooing, and had a hard time reading, but the new her returned fairly quickly. Was rather amusing, honestly.

Unfortunately, this story doesn't have as happy an ending as you'd hope. She had a mental break and completely ghosted without warning, so... the long and short of it is, make sure, if you go down this path, your mental fortitude is either strong enough to endure, or weak enough to crumble completely.
