At your recent appointment, you explained that your child has been struggling to hear in specific situations. When there are concerns about a child’s ability to follow conversation, it is important to rule out any underlying hearing loss. Hearing assessments typically measure the quietest sounds a child or adult can hear at different speech frequencies. Even with hearing deemed to be normal, individuals can have varying abilities to understand and process verbal and auditory information. If someone struggles outside of normal variation following speech, this indicates an auditory processing difficulty, sometimes diagnosed as Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). This page will give you more information about APD and how to support your child.
