Our clinic offers comprehensive auditory processing evaluations customized to each individual’s age, concerns and communication needs. Since no two cases of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) are exactly alike, we conduct a thorough hearing evaluation followed by a carefully selected battery of 6 to 9 evidence-based tests. These assessments help us pinpoint specific areas of auditory breakdown and create a detailed profile of both strengths and challenges, guiding accurate diagnosis and targeted intervention.
The evaluation process begins with a thorough case history, questionnaires and baseline audiological testing to rule out hearing loss. Based on age, cognitive level and presenting symptoms, we select a customized set of assessments that may include tests of:
- Auditory attention
- Sound discrimination
- Binaural integration and separation
- Auditory closure
- Auditory pattern recognition
These tests allow us to evaluate how the brain processes different types of auditory information in various listening conditions.
After testing, our team compiles a comprehensive report outlining diagnostic impressions, clinical observations and personalized recommendations. These may include therapy options, classroom or workplace accommodations and strategies for home or school.
Our goal is to provide clear answers and practical solutions—empowering individuals with APD to strengthen their listening skills, boost communication confidence and thrive in everyday environments.
