What Is Auditory Processing Disorder?
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain processes and interprets auditory information. People with APD often struggle to make sense of what they hear, even though their hearing is typically normal. This disorder can manifest in various ways, including difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, trouble distinguishing between similar sounds, and challenges with following directions or remembering auditory information.
Our Auditory Processing Evaluations
To begin your auditory processing evaluation, we will send a pre-appointment questionnaire to learn your medical history, communication concerns, and any symptoms you’ve experienced. Next, our specialists will perform a physical examination of your ears. Then your audiologist will then guide you through a series of tests to assess your ability to understand speech under various conditions. You can expect your auditory processing evaluation to take 90 minutes to two hours to complete.
