Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) refers to how your brain interprets and recognizes sounds. If this process is disrupted in some way, an auditory processing disorder, or APD, may be responsible. Auditory Processing Disorders impact your brain's ability to properly interpret or process sound. If you have already gone through testing for other types of hearing loss or disorders and are still having difficulty with your hearing, you may need an APD test to help diagnose why you are able to hear effectively but still not processing the auditory information correctly. How do we test for auditory processing disorders?

A few of the most common characteristics and signs include:

• Distracted by background noises

• Asking frequently for repetition

• Difficulty following directions

• Problems with distinguishing sounds

• Inability to listen to auditory stimuli for long

• Quickly forgetting what was said

• Frustration with learning

• Easily distracted or frustrated with too much noise

• Appearing to not listen or daydream
