Real or faking?

[MCB]

I thought that, thank you for the clarification. It would still be a good analogy to help fish for a hysterical condition.

Thank you CL. Something like this would probably not show up at all in a brain scan or eeg, right?

You are welcome!
Right, I think DocAudio has explained clear enough for us.

I would not use the “therapy” method mentioned at the bottom. If you feel that someone is “having trouble hearing” but has normal hearing on testing it could be a Central Auditory Processing Disorder. If that’s the case, finding a pro that specializes in diagnosing and treating CAPD is ideal. There are computer programs and other things that you can do to improve processing issues if that is, in fact, what is going on.

Thank you for your comments, I do agree with your saying, if the CPAD (or some other disease) is the case, consulting a doctor is ideal.
