	Information on hearing disorders and auditory processing in children at MedicineNet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Auditory processing is a term used to describe what happens when your brain recognizes and interprets the sounds around you.
		The "disorder" part of auditory processing disorder means that something is adversely affecting the processing or interpretation of the information.
		In children, auditory processing difficulty may be associated with conditions such as dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, autism spectrum disorder, specific language impairment, pervasive developmental disorder, or developmental delay.

	Redefining Auditory Processing Disorder
		According to the 1996 ASHA technical report on APD, the disorder is characterized by poor performance in one or more basic auditory behaviors or skills, including sound localization and lateralization, auditory performance with competing or degraded acoustic signals, auditory discrimination, auditory pattern recognition, and temporal aspects of audition.
		At the same time, awareness of APD is steadily increasing among the lay population and those in other disciplines, and audiologists and speech-language pathologists are being called upon more and more frequently to address the disorder in their practices.
		Further, because APD is a heterogeneous disorder that impacts different people in different ways, the selection of diagnostic test battery components must be individualized and appropriate for the child or adult in question.

	Central Auditory Processing Disorders
		Some are specific to the processing of acoustic signals, while others are more global in nature and not necessarily unique to processing of auditory information (e.g., attention, memory, language representation).
		The prevalence of CAPD in children is estimated to be between 2 and 3% (Chermak and Musiek, 1997), with it being twice as prevalent in males.
		If a child experiences difficulty in processing the brief and rapidly changing acoustics of spoken speech, he or she is likely to have problems recognizing the "speech sounds" of language.

	CENTRAL AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER (CAPD)
		This is because individuals with a auditory processing disorder have normal hearing but parts of the brain which analyze and interpret the sensory information from the ears, do not function appropriately.
		Auditory processing skills and speech perception are foundational skills for the emergence of phonemic awareness and in the broader sense phonological awareness.
		It has been suggested that APD is a multidimensional entity with far-reaching communicative, educational, and psychosocial implications for which differential diagnosis not only is possible but also is essential to an understanding of its impact and to the development of efficacious, deficit- specific management plans" (Bellis, Ferre, 1999).

		Central Auditory Processing Disorder: inability to differentiate, recognize, or understand sounds; hearing and intelligence are normal.
		Even though the child and adult with Auditory Processing Disorder seems to "hear normally," he or she may have difficulty using those sounds for speech and language.
		If there is a disease or disorder related to hearing, you may be referred to an otolaryngologist, a physician who specializes in diseases and disorders of the head and neck.

	Central Auditory Processing Disorder
		Although their hearing may be normal, kids with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) can't process the information they hear in the same way as others because their ears and brain don't fully coordinate.
		The auditory center of the brain isn't fully developed at age 7, 8, and 9 - the most common ages audiologists see for the central auditory processing test.
		Auditory Attention Problems: This is when the child can't maintain focus for listening long enough to complete a task or requirement (such as listening to a lecture in school).

	AUDITORY PERCEPTUAL PROCESSING DISORDER - ICD 388.40; 389.14
		Auditory perceptual processing disorder is also referred to as an auditory perceptual problem, central auditory dysfunction or central auditory processing disorder (CAPD).
		CAPD is a deficit in the processing of auditory input, which may be exacerbated in unfavorable acoustic environments and is associated with difficulty in listening, speech, understanding, language development and learning (Jerger and Musick, 2000).
		For example, as mentioned in the section on developmental language disorders, recent brain imaging research has shown that the brains of children with developmental language disorders are shaped differently in the “language areas.” Certain areas of the brain are dedicated to language processing, and these are the affected areas in children with language disorders.

		Auditory discrimination: a central auditory processing skill involving differentiating among phonemes—the smallest significant units of sound in a language.
		Auditory discrimination is one component of central auditory processing skills or auditory perception.
		Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) (previously known as "Central Auditory Processing Disorder" (CAPD)) is not a hearing impairment, it's a random inability to process what is heard.

		APD is a condition in which patients have difficulty cognitively processing sounds, language and/or phonemes (each type of speech sound).
		As the disorder becomes more and more talked about, parents are beginning to speak with each other, mostly on APD listserves, about similarities in their kids: OCD, ADD, early hospitalizations, a cousin with autism (some experts have suggested that APD is part of the autism spectrum).
		Her parents, now active in APD matters, have spoken to many parents across the country whose children have had identical experiences: being misdiagnosed by school speech therapists and denied services by school districts, and falling down in all aspects of their lives.

		Definitions of APD overlapped to a large extent with characteristics of ADHD and Language Processing Disorders.
		Other definitions were restricted to problems with auditory perceptual skills such as temporal distinction of stress, prosody, and rate, poor auditory distinction of phonemes, poor retention and synthesis of auditory stimuli.
		These are not necessarily diagnostic tools for APD but can further delineate auditory perception issues as a contributing factor to the referral concerns as well as form the basis for helpful intervention suggestions for the patient.

		Central auditory processing problems can seem similar to other problems and careful differentiation is essential.
		A team approach is essential: other professionals who may need to be consulted include an otolaryngolgost (ear specialist), speech-language pathologist to assess language skills, and educator, a mental health professional to rule out factors such as behavior problems, and an audiologist who administers the actual tests.
		Auditory attention can be enhanced by having child listen to tapes, transcribing from tapes, and playing games such as Simon Says.

		Auditory processing disorder may be described as difficulty in processing auditory information although hearing sensitivity and intellectual ability are unimpaired.
		Auditory and listening skills, which are critical for learning, may be improved through individual programs.
		The sooner APD is diagnosed, the sooner the child can learn and benefit from his or her new listening skills.

	Auditory Difficulties or Central auditory processing disorder CAPD
		Weak auditory vigilance causes a child to be less involved with the world because he/she is unable to grab that which has been deemed important out of the ongoing speech.
		They have more opportunities to evaluate signals that are visual or tactile (as compared to brief auditory signals that are fleeting and transient), thus in these children we are more likely to observe weaknesses that are auditory based.
		This clearly suggests that problems in central auditory processing ability are associated with LD and not ADHD.

	Central Auditory Processing Disorder and Auditory Neuropathy
		Auditory neuropathy is a type of hearing impairment where the cochlea is working fine (or mostly fine), but the auditory nerve is not.
		One of the theories behind hearing loss such as this is that the auditory nerve has not matured for some reason, such as prematurity, low birth weight, etc. Nature and time may effect a cure for this type of hearing loss.
		Even though it is not good practice, we still persist in misusing auditory language to teach basic concepts in the absence of concrete experiences for these students.

	Auditory processing disorder, central auditoy processing disorder
		In children, auditory processing problems may be identified by speech and language problems, sensitivity to sounds, poor attention, difficulty following directions, difficulty expressing oneself, difficulty with listening comprehension as well as reading comprehension, difficulty with social interactions, or auditory self-stimulation, such as constant humming or self-talk.
		Most of those reasons relate to the difficulties that individuals have when auditory processing skills are weak or are less than they could be.
		Whatever the reasons for auditory processing deficits: ear infections, brain injury, genetic factors, etc., if there is a time during critical developmental stages when the auditory stimuli doesn't come in or can't come in, the brain cells that normally process hearing do not learn how to do so.

	Help for Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD)
		Central auditory processing is the series of tasks done by parts of the auditory nerve pathways in the brain to sort out and refine the “raw data” delivered by the ear.
		The central auditory test tasks used by audiologists differ from IQ or academic tests, in that they were originally designed to check functions in the various regions of the auditory pathways.
		Moreover, adults bring to the process a rich life experience to help them strategize and overcome problems which are lifelong, or which are caused by a devastating life event like injury or illness.
