Another investigates how well they can remember and manipulate verbal information. For example, one test is targeted towards how well someone can focus on a speaker when there are other noises distracting them from different spatial planes. Our test battery includes a range of assessments identifying how well the auditory system performs certain tasks. Once results are obtained, a multi-disciplinary approach is taken to provide guidance for effective remediation strategies and rule out any other factors such as language impairment issues, cognitive problems, or attention difficulties. Testing typically takes up to 1.5 hours to complete and can be quiet demanding on children. Occasionally this can involve electrophysiological testing where we set up electrodes and look at the brains neural response to stimulus. This sometimes involves listening to speech in noise, listening for different beeps, or recalling sets of information. Audiologists look at how auditory information is used. This may involve other health professionals such as speech pathologists, psychologists, and paediatricians if we are providing rehabilitation for children.Ī comprehensive test battery is designed to minimise language and cognitive components so a more reliable picture of auditory processing skills can be obtained. Audiologists provide pivotal information for initial or differential diagnosis and assessment for auditory processing disorders. It is broadly recognised that the identification and management of CAPD is a multidisciplinary approach. How do we test for and diagnose Central Auditory Processing Disorder?
