I have the exact same problem.
I had troubles learning pronunciations when I was a kid, but I never had other learning problems.
As an adult, I struggled enough with pronunciation that I consulted two hearing specialists to determine if there were any issues with my ears. It turns out my hearing is fine.
Is it possible for someone to get a diagnosis for dyslexic based on pronunciation problems only?
I must say I am relieved to finally find someone who shares my experience.
- ineedaj0b 3y agoYou might be able to be diagnosed, but there’s no medication or cure. You can get extra time on tests if you’re younger. You can Google dyslexic signs. I think last time I looked auditory processing anomalies and the retina or lens was oddly shaped in 95% of dyslexics. Dyslexic is also an umbrella term for a bunch of things so you’ll have to sort through to find your flavor. Best fix is a good nights sleep. Also make sure you move closer to speech you want to comprehend and the people you interact with most enunciate and speak at a good volume (too many people speak poorly and could use 2 weeks of beginner theater classes)
- potatowaffle 3y agoThank you for the kind, detailed reply. I wish I had known my condition may be dyslexic when I was younger. Taking a beginner theater class is now on my todo list.
