or should I get my hearing checked out....

it sounds like people are mumbling a lot lately....... but sometimes I just don't know if it's my inattention. I'm also going through depression and anxiety.

I'm the combined type, but I suffer from this. Learning disabilities are not uncommon in people with AD(H)D. Check out Central Auditory Processing Disorder-- it very well could be the cause of your hearing problems. It is not a problem with your actual hearing, but with the way your brain processes sound.

I'm combined and I suffer from this too. I hear, but don't listen. Adding to this the fact that I'm left-ear dominant, my right ear sucks.

I kind of figured I had that.... I have an appointment to get tested soon. Is there anything that can make your hearing better?
