> I cannot understand when I mispronounce words. I get corrected often and repeat back the correction but it sounds like what I said the first time.

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.

You 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)

Thank 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.
