Only audiologists can diagnose auditory processing disorder. We specialise in diagnosing APD using a specific group of listening tests. We have the tools and skills to test children from as young as 3 1/2.
Children with symptoms of APD can show a variety of listening-related complaints.
If you think your child might have a problem processing sounds, ask yourself:
• Does my child often mishear sounds and words?
• Does your child often reply with “Huh” or often ask you to repeat what you have said?
• Does my child’s listening behaviours and performance improve in quieter settings?
• Does my child have trouble following verbal directions, whether simple or complicated?
• Are conversations hard for my child to follow?
• Does my child frequently interrupt conversations?
• Is it difficult to gain my child’s attention when they are watching TV?
• Is my child sensitive to loud sounds?
• Does my child struggle in noisy places?
In school, many children with APD may have difficulty with spelling and/or phonics, reading, and understanding the information presented verbally in the classroom.
We work one-on-one, offering a bespoke experience that ensures that your experience is fun, relevant and tailored to both your interests and audiological needs.

We use the very latest equipment and technology. We never stop learning. Claire has presented her work on APD intervention at a number of conferences, both national and international. She has recently had an article published in Audiology Today.
Individuals with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (also called Auditory Processing Disorder) have normal hearing thresholds (abilities). Still, mechanisms in the pathway from the ear to the part of the brain that processes sound are impaired.
Auditory Processing includes mechanisms that preserve, refine, analyse, modify, and interpret information from auditory information. When there is a breakdown in one or more mechanisms along this pathway, the result is a central auditory processing disorder.
These mechanisms underlie the following skills: Decoding, Auditory discrimination, Binaural Processing, Temporal Processing, Spatial Processing, Listening to noise, Auditory Memory, Organisation, and Integration.
