The little things, make a big difference.
Auditory Processing refers to a group of skills that our brains use to make sense of the things that we hear. When one or more of these skills isn't working as it should our ability to understand sound can be impacted in a variety of ways.
An auditory processing weakness can present as frequent mishearing what someone says, difficulty keeping up with conversations, difficulty completing more than one instruction at a time, or trouble understanding humour and sarcasm.
At the Little Hearing Co. our Auditory Processing Assessment starts with a routine hearing test to confirm that your hearing sensitivity is normal.
From there we move on to testing how well you can use both ears together to separate speech from noise, how well you fill in the gaps when a message is distorted, how well you can detect slight differences between similar sounds, and your ability to detect and interpret patterns of rhythm, timing and pitch.
