The Specialist
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Auditory Processing Disorder is characterized by problems in understanding what we hear, especially in acoustically challenging situations, such as in the presence of background noise, on the phone, or when many people talk simultaneously. Interestingly, the problem is not explained by hearing loss, as most individuals have normal hearing.
The APD intervention involves an individualized management programme focused on changes in the listening environment, deficit-specific auditory training and implementation of compensatory strategies.

What our clients are saying
"We used the APD clinic for a full APD assessment and hearing test for our 8 year old. Dr Cristina was fantastic throughout the whole process. She took the time to clearly explain things before and after the assessment and was more than happy to answer any questions. She was extremely kind and friendly to my 8 year old and put him at ease throughout the assessment which is quite lengthy for a child. If you’re looking for a clinic for a APD assessment then I would highly recommend Dr Cristina" (M.N.)
