That's very odd...when I was a kid, my parents kept taking me to a hearing specialist as it seemed like I couldn't "hear properly" yet all the tests they performed, indicated that I had no problem with my hearing. I wonder if it isn't maybe more to do with auditory processing rather than auditory reception...especially if you take into account that the tests they did was more frequency related rather than "comprehension".

My dad is having "degenerative hearing loss" of an unknown nature, but I doubt that it has anything to do with it.

You will most prob also find it silly that I am a musician as well Wink (Play/compose on an electronic keyboard as a hobby)

Solution for Memory Problems

Yes, my memory is affected by the medications so I load my cellphone with all my appointments, calls to be returned, birthdays, etc... Now I am not so embarrassed ... unless I forget to put it in my cellphone. LOL

heh, some days I don't know if I am remembering my own cell-number correctly...

A couple of times I have said the number to someone and turn around, just to realise I had switched numbers around...

almost off seroquel. i take my last 50mg dose in 2 days. i feel soooo much better and have lots more energy but my memory is still a major issue. it's not so bad now that i have an ipod touch with notes app. i put every detail in it and i can carry it in my purse pocket or whatever and retrieve info fast. it helps me tremendously and i'm not so embarrassed.

btw, doc is replacing seroquel with abilify which i know nothing about. i'd hate to mess up a good thing... the return of some energy!

I'm glad you are feeling so much better! Smile

Sometimes I even doubt wether I wrote information down correctly...and 20% of the time it seems to be wrong.
