Auditory Processing Disorder Testing and Treatment

Auditory Processing is what your brain does with what your ear hears. Many people have processing difficulties. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) can be diagnosed in childhood or adulthood. However, everyone’s abilities decrease as they age. Reported problems are “I can hear, but not understand,” “I can’t participate in group conversations,” or “the background noise is louder than the person I am trying to hear.” APD can occur whether you need hearing aids or not.

When Hearing Aids Aren’t Enough

Listening therapy is designed for people who still struggle to understand speech clearly, even with hearing aids. It can also help those who are told they have normal hearing but still have trouble following conversations.

Here’s who should consider listening therapy:
