Auditory processing disorder, defined here as a deficit in how the brain analyzes sounds, has remained a controversial topic within audiology for decades. Some controversy concerns what the disorder is called; more substantively, even its existence has been questioned. This talk will be directed toward understanding and quantifying the multiple causes of listening difficulties in people with normal or near-normal hearing thresholds. These causes include various types of auditory processing disorders and deficits in memory, attention, language, speech sound perception and potentially sub-clinical hearing loss.
