I am 74 and just had a test for auditory processing disorder and had substantial loss. At my age I finally at least got an answer why I had trouble my entire life. My first hearing test was as a child and I had two as an adult and was told my hearing was fine. I got hearing aids in the spring but has not really helped in noise. My test was done at St Louis Speech and Hearing Center, associated with Washington University. Enjoying your podcasts.
