The APD assessment involves several components: - Pure-tone audiometry: To check the child's hearing sensitivity. - Speech audiometry: To evaluate how well the child can understand speech at different levels of loudness. - Auditory discrimination tests: To assess the ability to distinguish between different sounds. - Auditory memory tests: To evaluate short-term and long-term auditory memory. - Dichotic listening tests: To measure how well the child can process different sounds presented to both ears simultaneously. - Temporal processing tests: To examine the child's ability to process the timing of sounds.
