I never like being wrong. (Drives my wife crazy.) Did terrible on a recent audiology test.
âTell me if you hear a sound, no matter how faint,â the audiologist told me.
Because of my fear of being wrong I didnât indicate when I thought I heard very faint sounds. The result showed severe hearing loss for higher pitched sounds (lower pitches I had normal hearing). I will admit to loss of a hearing in the higher ranges â but it probably isnât as bad as the test showed.
Next appointment the audiologist may be amazed if it appears my hearing has improved with age.
Welcome to the club Kevin. Now letâs hope you get the proper dyslexia training you need. Like too many back in the â60s teachers kept sticking me in the slow learnerâs class like the SRS program until finally I was paired with a teacher who actually understood it and provided me with the tools I needed to progress and thrive. Now Iâm thrice retired with five college degrees. Too many werenât as lucky as me.
Dyslexia is an interesting thing to live with, for sure, and it can be awesome once you master it. Itâs more than just difficulty reading; it also comes with superb spacial reasoning and the ability to mentally rearrange the world around you. Thatâs why a number of great artists and engineers were dyslexic. It isnât in spite of the dyslexiaâŠitâs actually because of it!
I donât understand why dyslexia would make one âstruggle to read short phrases or sentences more than longer ones.â Wouldnât it make all reading difficult to an equal extent?
I donât have dyslexia, but I can still relate to this. I have struggled alone with things in life, and then to finally figure out where I was going wrong is such an enlightening moment and a ray of light. Those ah-ha moments are wonderful. Powerful strip. Iâm happy Kevin is getting some help.

And the refrain from little mermaid "A whole new world so exciting and new . . . " or Bellé from B&B. Yes I have kids.

Maâam???I have the same problems, I get the wrong spelling stuck in my head. Iâve fixed most of them after 53 years, still a few to go.
Love the gag at the end.

Kudos to Tauhid for publicizing the symptoms of dyslexia!
There may be some people here, or on other platforms, who will read this strip and say, âThat sounds like what I have!â
