There may be a zebra someone has nearby, but it is much more likely you're hearing (or not, haha) the racehorses going by. When you hear hoofbeats, think horses before you think of zebras, especially if you live near a racetrack (which you do in this metaphor, as someone with ADHD). Your symptoms are very likely neatly explained by Occam's Razor here- ADHD has attention and processing issues as a common and widespread set of symptoms. I've seen a lot of social media basically convincing everyone they have CAPD/King-Kopetzky the last year or so. It is concerning to me that people are jumping to a relatively obscure and "weird" disorder first lately it's not just you, don't feel bad. It also mimics a lot of other things- Meniere's disease, ADHD, hidden or moderate hearing loss, earwax impaction, other learning disabilities, ANSD, etc. It is a sort of "wastebasket" diagnosis that comes into play when other psychiatric disorders or physical disorders cannot explain certain outcomes on audio and cognitive tests. However, mine came from a blow to the head as a child long after my ASD was present without hearing issues. If I had been born with auditory issues that present the same way mine do now, it would likely be part of my ASD.
For example, I have ASD as well as CAPD/King-Kopetzky syndrome, but they are separate. Part of the current misinformation as this disorder gains a lot of attention (and also likely to due lack of communication between audiologists and psych professionals) is that people think CAPD/King-Kopetzky is a symptom it is not.
I typed this up recently for someone asking if they might have CAPD instead of ADHD.ĬAPD/King-Kopetzky is a discrete disorder on its own it is congenital or acquired through some form of brain damage-a stroke, a blow to the head, a fever, etc. There is a WHOLE lot of misinformation out there rn, mostly coming from the weird tiktok pop psych/pop health misinformation mill lol and from psychs and audiologists not communicating much if at all. Let me dig up an explainer on CAPD I typed up a bit back. That's the whole point you're asking if someone can have chronic fatigue syndrome without depression, basically. I don't say all this to nitpick you, but because the misinformation is really, ridiculously rampant and very sudden, ever since tiktok became a thing. I've been diagnosed for fifteen years and it is concerning how much misinformation and misuse of the term is happening by psych professionals who don't know audiology or about developmental and learning disorders and how they arise. I'm not saying this to be a dick- I am largely pro-self diagnosis for a lot of things, but CAPD is not one of those things that is self-diagnosable, and assuming you have it without a formal diagnosis can leave many other similarly presenting disorders untreated which can be dangerous for you. Have you been formally evaluated for central auditory processing disorder? It is a standalone disorder. I apologize, but hyperacusis and tinnitus are not CAPD, and CAPD is not a symptom of any other disorder, but its own standalone diagnosis.
