Is your child facing challenges in understanding spoken language, following instructions, or concentrating in noisy environments?
Are you aged over 18 but feel you could have an issue that could be more than just a hearing issue – it could be Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).
What is APD?
APD stands for Auditory Processing Disorder, and it refers to a condition where an individual's brain has difficulty processing and interpreting auditory information, even though the person's hearing abilities are normal. This disorder can impact how anyone understands and interprets sounds, speech, and language.
With APD, the ears function properly, but the brain struggles to make sense of the sounds it receives. This can lead to challenges in various aspects of communication, learning, and daily life. Ayone with APD might have difficulty distinguishing between similar sounds, following instructions in noisy environments, recognizing patterns in speech, or processing the nuances of spoken language.
It's important to note that APD is not a hearing impairment or a learning disability, but rather a specific issue with the brain's ability to process auditory information. It can coexist with other conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), language disorders, or learning disabilities.
The diagnosis of APD typically involves a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a qualified audiologist and includes various tests to measure the ability to process different aspects of auditory information, such as speech sounds, temporal processing, and spatial processing.
Early identification and appropriate intervention can have a significant impact in helping children improve their auditory processing skills and enhance their overall communication and learning abilities. If you suspect that your child may have APD, it's important to seek professional evaluation and support from the age of 7.
