APD is a symptom in which a person can hear sound but cannot understand what the other person is saying, and is considered a type of hearing loss.
There are several factors that can cause such APD, and we will take a closer look at APD caused by stress in particular.
Please refer to 4 types of APD in adults Characteristics and causes of each type for more information on the causes of APD.
Stress-induced APD is an SOS from the body
Excessive stress can lead to APD.
This is a condition in which you become ill from stress and it comes to your ears.
The ear is a very sensitive organ, and stress can cause tinnitus and other symptoms in addition to APD.
Stress can also cause hearing loss.
The ear often begins to malfunction earlier than other parts of the body, and a malfunction in the ear can be seen as an SOS signal from the body.
APD is a psychological factor that is not present in the mind
Often in anime and dramas, when something is troubling you, you are portrayed as being lost in thought and not listening to what is being said.
You may have experienced this too, but when something is bothering you, you are listening to what is being said without being in the right frame of mind.
It can be said that people who are under excessive stress or worry are always in this state.
In other words, people with APD due to psychological factors are not unable to understand the conversation itself, but rather they are unable to concentrate and listen to what the other person is saying.
They think they are listening to what is being said, but they are thinking about something else, and it is difficult for them to recognize this state of mind.
How to deal with APD as a psychological problem
APD for psychological problems is a state of being constantly in a state of being above and deprived of thoughts of worry.
Therefore, removing the source of worry and stress may improve APD symptoms.
If you feel any discomfort, see an otolaryngologist immediately and suspect APD if there are no hearing problems.
Then, communicate well with your doctor to eliminate the source of stress.
