[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 438518, member: 11791"] In these parts, ONLY an audiologist can do that diagnosis. However, many audiologists only test for classical Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). There are OTHER auditory processing issues - which in my opinion should ALWAYS be screened for, and aren't... you have to know to ask for it. These are "auditory filtering" and "auditory discrimination". The first is the ability to [U]screen out[/U] background noise - to send it to the "background". The second is the ability to [U]focus on a primary sound[/U] - like, the teacher's voice in a noisy classroom. A kid with really keen hearing (natural, like yours, or learned of necessity like ours) who also has one or more of these auditory issues, may be getting nothing from class at all... and still not be diagnosis with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD).
