Through a battery of tests, we can evaluate hearing and identify possible processing problems. It is a condition that affects 2% of the general population. In simple terms one may describe CAPD as how well the ear communicates to the brain and then how well the brain understands what the ear is saying. What is CAPD? It is the inability to understand spoken language in a meaningful way in the absence of what is commonly considered a hearing loss is called a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) disorder. Please be aware, adults can also have an auditory processing disorder. The quotes above came from parents of children about to undergo testing for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). “I don’t know if there is a problem, or if my child is just lazy.” He will go upstairs and not even remember what I told him.”

“I give my child a set of instructions to go upstairs brush his teeth and comb his hair.

“I feel like I have to repeat myself over and over again.”
