POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS
Distracted or unfocused behavior, verbal instructions & tasks cannot be internalized, rhymes and poems cannot be memorized.
In the case of a selection disorder (filtering out information), for example, a conversation with a person can be more difficult or no longer followed if background noise, such as traffic noise, can be heard at the same time. Children with a selection disorder find it difficult, for example, to filter out sounds from words in school when there is ambient noise, i.e. they then do not understand what a teacher is saying.
With a disorder of discrimination, for example, similar-sounding sounds or syllables (e.g. /p/ – /b/ or /pa/ – /ba/) are not perceived as different. This can result in spoken words not being understood or even misunderstood.
THE BACKGROUND
Auditory processing disorders are disorders in the further processing of heard information. There is neither a disorder of the auditory organ itself nor a loss of intelligence.
Auditory processing and perception disorders (AVDs), also called auditory processing disorders (AVDs), are disorders of the further processing of heard information. There is neither a disorder of the auditory organ itself nor a loss of intelligence. The disorders affect the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve transmits information to the cerebrum, where it is further processed. The process of further processing is divided into auditory sub-functions, which can be affected in different ways and to different degrees. Auditory subfunctions include: Localization (direction and distance of the sound source), Discrimination (distinguishing), Selection (filtering out) and Dichotic Hearing (binaural hearing).
