Had a hearing test. The guy said "I'm legally unable to prescribe a hearing aid for you"

"Perhaps 5% of children and younger adults (<60 years old) with “clinically normal” audiograms (i.e., tone thresholds better than 20 dB HL from 0.1 to 8 kHz) have difficulties understanding speech, particularly in noisy, reverberant or otherwise challenging listening environments "

Seemingly a lot based on the thread where people are realizing they have an APD.
