When the brain hears… but doesn’t quite understand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auditory processing is the brain’s ability to understand the sounds that the ears perceive. The ears capture sounds and transform them into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the brain for analysis and comprehension. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, central auditory processing is everything that happens between the two ears<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These abilities develop from early childhood and continue to refine until adolescence. When one or more of these functions are impaired, it is referred to as an Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). <\/p>\n

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between language disorders, concentration disorders, behavioral disorders… It is important to involve several healthcare professionals for a comprehensive evaluation. <\/p>\n

Depending on the auditory profile, different interventions may be considered. Each plan is entirely personalized to the individual being evaluated. <\/p>\n

      Generally from 7 years of age, the age at which the central auditory system is sufficiently mature to allow for reliable tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

      No. Peripheral hearing (the ears) functions well, but the brain misinterprets the information. One hears, but does not always understand. <\/span><\/p>\n

      It does not disappear completely, but with appropriate intervention, it is possible to improve auditory comprehension and develop effective compensatory strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Yes. It can be present since childhood without having been diagnosed, or appear later after trauma, a stroke, or aging of the auditory system. <\/span><\/p>\n
