Overview

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a condition that causes a miscommunication between the brain and the ears. This miscommunication causes the listener to misunderstand the message coming from their communication partner. 

 

What to Expect

  • Before testing for auditory processing breakdowns, an audiological evaluation will need to be completed. 

  • An audiological evaluation can be completed at our office. Please reach out to schedule an appointment.

  • After the evaluation, you will complete a series of tests designed to look at how the brain decodes and responds to sentences, sounds, and words.

  • Depending on the outcome of the tests, strategies for improving processing are recommended.
