Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a disorder that is often misunderstood because many of the behaviors and symptoms that characterize this disorder can also appear in other conditions such as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. (ADHD), and even depression. Auditory processing problems can occur independently or coexist with other non-auditory disorders. A simple questionnaire or checklist can help a speech therapist, psychologist, or even the parents screen the child, but only a board-certified audiologist can diagnose central auditory processing disorder. There is a battery of tests to be performed to diagnose CAPD in schoolchildren, which includes 1) dichotic speech tests, 2) low-redundancy monaural speech tests, and 3) binaural interaction tests (i.e. i.e. diotic). Essays. Dichotic refers to different signals presented simultaneously to each ear. In these tests, different speech stimuli are presented to both ears either simultaneously or in an overlapping manner (e.g., dichotic CVs, numbers, words, sentences). Next, the child is asked to repeat everything heard, which tests divided attention, or to repeat everything heard in a specified ear, which tests directed attention. The more similar and more closely aligned the test items are acoustically, the more difficult the task. The Dichotic Digits Test is one of the most commonly used tests in this category. In this test, four numbers are presented to the child simultaneously and the child is asked to repeat the numbers, for example number five is presented to the right ear and at the same time number three is presented to the right ear. left ear then the number nine and two are presented. presented simultaneously middle of paper......uh, the ear. Children with normal auditory processing will have no difficulty recognizing speech. An example of a test from the tics category is the Rapid Alternation Speech Perception Test. In this test, the sentence is divided into brief segments that alternate rapidly between the two ears. For example the sentence (open the door) is divided into small segments between the two ears. The first segment OP will be presented to the first ear then EN will be presented to the second ear and so on. If the child only hears the segments presented to the right or left ear, it is unlikely that he or she will be able to recognize the sentence. Fourth, tests of temporal processing using tonal stimuli require the listener to discriminate sound based on a sequence of auditory features. stimuli or temporal order to assess pattern perception and temporal functioning abilities.
