How Does Auditory Processing Disorder Affect You and What Is It? 3–5% of school-aged children have auditory processing disorder (APD), a kind of hearing loss. Affects children and makes it difficult for them to understand what is being spoken. Their ears and brains aren't working together properly, which is the cause of this. The brain's ability to recognise and comprehend sounds, particularly speech, is being hampered by something. If they adopt the right strategies, children with APD can be successful in both school and in life. It is impossible to emphasise the value of early detection. A kid is more likely to experience listening and learning problems at home and in school if the condition is not detected and treated at an early stage. Understanding Speech Is Difficult Since APD children are able to hear tones presented one at a time in a very quiet environment, it is considered that they have normal hearing ability (such as a soundtreated room). The problem is that, even when sounds are loud enough to be heard, they frequently fail to recognise subtle differences between sounds in words. You can overcome APD with the use of treatment for auditory processing disorder. To know what is auditory processing disorder, visit our website.
