Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Article literally starts off just describes my ADHD related auditory processing difficulties, which is interesting for their claims because I don’t often listen to music in the first place because of it.

The only thing I use my headphones for are podcasts and audio books that I have rewind because I forgot I was listening to something.

My knee jerk response as a result is that it’s probably just younger people being more comfortable admitting something is wrong and looking for an explanation from the wrong people.

Yeah those first couple paragraphs were just “ADHD/autistic woman behaves like an ADHD/autistic woman. Time to blame her for using accommodation equipment!” (Not actually Dx’ing her, but I recognize a lot of my own patterns here).

Like for fuck’s sake let us have our small bits of sanity. Tuning out the constant hell that is everyday life is not a sin.

  they did say she was able to pay attention just fine watching lecture videos with subtitles. Also she is just an example, they said this problem is on the rise in general.

    Someone with ADHD can better focus when they get the info simultaneously as text and audio? Unbelievable! Plus it’s the most over and under diagnosed disorder at the same time. Under diagnosed within women particularly. It’s getting diagnosed better and more often, so it fits too.
    
    I don’t say that she has it but most neurodiverse will see lot’s of checked boxes.

    Or… maybe she really does have APD as her doctors says she does?

    …because APD has some similar symptoms to ADHD.

I sad chuckled because I am the same. On the other hand, I listen to glitchy electronic music with irregular patterns on my headphones in order to concentrate on a task. My brain tunes out the mayhem and focuses on the task at hand. Imagine a screen full of jumbled, ever changing imagery with a single fly crawling across it, but in sound. My brain will focus on the “fly” and blur out the rest because it makes no sense.

  Could you share some examples of this type of music, please?

    Aside from the obvious Aphex Twin tracks, here is an old one I always liked. It gets progressively more broken halfway through, which is is a good example of what I mean.

    Not sure what Jo listens to but I recognized myself in his description.
    
    You can lookup Sewerslvt (Mr.Kill Myself) for an exemple. I also listens to :
    
    Machine Girl (Try Krystle URL Cyberplace Mix)
    
    Goreshit (Try Fine Night or Black is the new black)
    
    Loffciamcore ( A little more hardcore than the others, try Eat Me)
