Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

What is it ....

People would tell me - you only hear what u wanna hear, 

but that wasn't by choice. 

I had this all my life and I never knew what it was until  I was diagnosed with it in 2012 when I was 55 years old. 

Then I knew I was not going crazy. My brain doesn't process verbal input properly. I just get pieces of the conversation . Feels like, If someone would talk to me by the time they get to the middle of the sentence my brain would still be trying to process the first 3 words. By the time they get to the last word, My Brain is still trying to process the first 3 words.....
