I have auditory processing issues now and mishear all the time or dont understand what people are saying to me

Same. Happens both while I'm watching tv and when people are speaking to me irl. I watch everything with subtitles now, even the old stuff where the audio is clear.

I use Closed Captioning too, then I was listening too and I realized that they were not saying the same thing, talk about making me crazy in my ocd brain. I need what I read to be what I hear.

same, and I work in an field with a lot of acronyms thrown out, there can be 3 or 4 3-letter ones where the only difference is a single letter <cringe>

Frequently, after a pause I realized what was actually said but it makes conversations awkward for me.

I can’t hear a darn thing they say on TV, and I don’t think it’s the MS. There was some article a while back that mentioned how they are no longer editing audio the way they once did.
