Auditory Processing Evaluation

Make Sense of The Sounds Around You Again

In our audiology clinic, we use modern diagnosis tools to assess various aspects and understand if there are any hidden difficulties or shortcomings, known as Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), in the processing of auditory information that may overshadow your ability to hear and speak efficiently.

After a complete examination, we can customize intervention processes like listening skills trainings, provision of Assistive listening devices  (ALDs) or other easy-to-use devices, and adapting ways for better communication that would improve the quality of life.

APD Symptoms

Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) can present with a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Difficulty understanding speech, especially in noisy or crowded environments
  • Following directions
  • Discriminating between similar sounds
  • Maintaining attention during auditory tasks

Individuals with APD may also experience delays in language development, poor academic performance, and social communication difficulties.

APD Causes

APD can arise from various underlying factors, including:

  • Abnormalities in the central auditory nervous system
  • Genetic predispositions
  • History of recurrent ear infections during childhood
  • Head trauma
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder)
  • Exposure to environmental toxins.

Identifying the specific deficits in auditory processing is crucial for us in developing targeted interventions to improve communication skills.

APD Diagnosis

Our comprehensive Auditory Processing Evaluation includes a thorough assessment of your auditory abilities, including:

  • Speech perception in quiet and noise
  • Auditory discrimination
  • Temporal processing
  • Auditory memory

We utilize a combination of standardized tests, behavioral observations, and specialized assessments to identify specific deficits in auditory processing and determine the most appropriate interventions for your needs.

APD Treatment

Once the auditory processing deficits are identified, we collaborate with you to develop a tailored treatment plan to address your unique challenges. This may involve:

  • Auditory training exercises
  • Assistive listening devices (such as Frequency Modulation (FM) systems)
  • Environmental modifications to reduce auditory distractions
  • Strategies to improve listening skills and language comprehension

Our priority is to optimize your auditory processing abilities and enhance your communication skills for greater success in academic, social, and professional settings.
