Resumé

(Central) auditory processing describes functions such as sound localization and lateralization; auditory discrimination; auditory pattern recognition; temporal aspects of audition (e.g., temporal gap detection), temporal ordering, and temporal masking; auditory performance in competing acoustic signals (including dichotic listening); and auditory performance with degraded acoustic signals. Poor performance in one or more of these abilities without signs of degraded abilities of higher order cognitive/communicative and/or language-related functions might be a symptom for (Central) Auditory processing disorder, (C)APD. For school- aged children, (C)APD can manifest itself in difficulties in learning, speech, language, social, and related functions. However, depending on individual combinations of “bottom-up” and “top-down” abilities, the same aspect of auditory processing deficit may influence different children in different ways, which makes standardised ways of a diagnostic approach difficult to establish. During the last two years, a multidisciplinary team at Uppsala University Hospital has worked on diagnosis and management of children demonstrating symptoms of (C)APD. Results of measurements of auditory processing of 50 children as well as approaches to manage their problems are presented and discussed.
