Auditory Scramble?

Post Reply New Topic

This is something that just happens to me randomly and i'm wondering if anyone's ever heard of or experienced it.

Ill be listening to the radio or whatever and a song will come on that I recognize in some sense, but I can't hear the music properly. Like, I'll know what the words to the song are but I can't remember the title or who sings it. And it seems that until I figure these things out, the chords of the music are all jumbled up or seem to be playing out of sync where I can't actually recognize the melody.

I can sit and strain to hear the music for several minutes and it won't become unscrambled. I have to have someone tell me the name of the song or who sings it so that I can (this is the only way i can describe it) REMEMBER hearing the song from a different time and once I have my auditory barrings; I can hear the song perfectly when I focus on it again.

It's like when you forget somemthing and it's on the tip of your brain and you just need a trigger... But it's just super strange for me to hear a song sound so funky... it's not musical at all... and then just have it go back to normal IF i find that mental trigger.

Hello Sedaka,

if it's happens randomly, it's probably something else who make that happens.

Maybe anxiety or nervousness, if you're sort of depress or too tired to get enough concentration.

When I'm nervous, I have trouble to find words when I'm talking, maybe it's something like that but with your audition ...

Try to know when it's happen, what is your mood, if you're stressed or something like that.

See you !

My auditory problem is quite the opposite....

I can hear and remember a melody very well. I really enjoy and engage in the details of music. But I can hardly understand the lyrics. I try to sing along and end up "filling in the blanks" of the words I cannot understand. It's so bad that I miss nearly every other word sometimes.

I have the same problem when someone is talking to me, but since there is less other sound I can give more focus. Of course, a loud environment is a communications nightmare.

it happens as often an as random as anything that's ever on the tip of your brain... like some asks you, "who was that actor who was in...." and you remember all the movies they ever played in but you can't remember their name.

i just happens with music and i don't think there's a mood or anything associated with it.... ill just be listening to music and like the next song that plays sounds like a cacophany of gobblety-gook.
