Understanding Auditory Processing Disorder
APD, also known as central auditory processing disorder, involves a disconnect between the ears and the brain, affecting how sound is processed and interpreted. It can affect people of any age.It can be developmental (presenting in childhood) or a result of a medical condition, or symptoms can be present due to other diagnoses.
Symptoms vary widely but often include difficulty understanding speech in noise, following rapid or complex instructions, and processing auditory information efficiently.
