[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 590855, member: 11791"] SuZir... You don't need links. You basically gave a very good definition of auditory figure ground! It's subtle because it doesn't affect language processing, and most testing is done in a quiet environment. But in real life - from classroom to sports field to most "public" settings, the background noise has a huge impact. People with this problem have to put so much effort into "hearing" in that setting that there isn't much brain power left for "processing". Not sure if he can use the classical intervention for this or not... haven't seen it done for sports, HAVE seen it done in the classroom. It's a "personal FM system", where the teacher has a mic (on a loop that goes around the teacher's neck) and the student has a receiver direct to the ear. The system adjusts the teacher's voice to be about 20 decibels louder than the background noise. Whether or not he can get tested for it, it's really easy to just "try" the intervention. [/QUOTE]
