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.
