• Hearing and hearing processing can be affected in many ways.

• In some cases, the information is almost completely lost or "only" more difficult to recognize.

• (C)APD are deficits in neural processing and perception of auditory stimuli despite normal peripheral hearing and normal intelligence.

1. Introduction

St. Reetz | AVWS |

Lisa tries hard to follow the explanations of the sports teacher in the gym. When all the other children run in the instructed direction, she doesn't know what to do. So she is oriented towards her girlfriend.

Mischa hears the teacher's instructions. „ Now get your red folder out of the school satchel and your pencil out of the pencil box.“Mischathinks for a while and takes a red pencil out of the pencil case.”

Tim works at his group table and occasionally exchanges ideas with a neighbour. The teacher is standing at the blackboard and calling hisname. Helpless and searching, Tim looks around the class and looks for the person who obviously wants something from him.

(Hammann, 2012, P. 9)

• (C)APD affects functions that enable children to respond to auditory stimuli and/or understand speech at every level.

• There are different types of (C)APD, thus there is a great amount and variety of symptoms.

• Children with (C)APD can hear soft noises or sounds without problems, but what they hear is not processed in the correct manner.

• Acoustic signals can have various qualities: tones (sinus tone), sound (harmonic superposition of sinus tones), noises (non-harmonic superposition of sinus tones), bang.

• The acoustic signals/noises used for communication represent a special form: The actually realized acoustic speech signals are called phone.

• The smallest prototypical units of a speech system are phonemes.

Auditory Perception = • Part of cognition • On the one hand this comes about through signal

processing, i.e. "bottom-up processes", on the other hand through vigilance, attention and memory - "top-down processes".

„I hear…“

• Strict distinction between hearing as an auditory process(= acoustic recording of frequencies and noise level) - andthe real recognition.

• „ I hear two people. A woman and a man.“ I recognize this only on the basis of my knowledge and

in my experience.This succeeds thanks to a complex interaction from physical and neuronal processes.

Summery• Hearing in the sense of the meaningful and

purposeful utilization of acoustic signals is not a purely sensory process it takes place with the inclusion of cognitive abilities.

• “bottom-up processes” lead from bottom to top and begin with the absorption of stimuli. They lead up to the mental processes and are based on signal processing.

• In contrast: “top-down processes” involve higher mental processes: vigilance, attention, memory.

In case of hearing impairment, all partial functions can be affected alone or in combination:

• Conductive hearing loss: Sound transport to the oval window disturbed

• Sensorineural hearing loss: Transformation of the mechanical energy of sound into a bioelectrical signal is disturbed.

• (C)APD : Disturbance of processing (brainstem level) and perception (higher auditory functions including cognitive functions) of nerve impulses.

• A gold standard for the diagnosis of (C)APD is not yet available internationally.

• A number of expert opinions have been published: • German Society for Phoniatrics and Pedaudiology (DGPP)• American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA)• American Academy of Audiology (AAA) • British Society of Audiology (BSA)

• German term “AVWS" was introduced by the DGPP in 2000, based on the Anglo-American expression “Auditory Processing Disorder” (APD), but supplemented by linguistic auditory processing and short-term memory.

„Eine Auditive Verarbeitungs- und/oder Wahrnehmungsstörung (AVWS) liegt vor, wenn bei normalem Tonaudiogramm zentrale Prozesse des Hörens gestört sind.

Zentrale Prozesse des Hörens ermöglichen u. a. die vorbewusste und bewusste Analyse, Differenzierung und sowie Prozesse der binauralen Identifikation von Zeit-, Frequenz- und Intensitätsveränderungen akustischer oder auditivsprachlicher Signale sowie Prozesse der

binauralen Interaktion (z. B. zur Geräuschlokalisation, Lateralisation, Störgeräuschbefreiung, Summation) und der dichotischen Verarbeitung. Hierbei können sowohl efferente

als auch afferente Bahnen betroffen sein.“

„Deficits in the processing of auditory information in the central nervous system (CNS) as demonstrated by poor performance in

one or more of the following skills: sound localization and lateralization; auditory discrimination; auditory pattern

recognition; temporal aspects of audition including temporal integration, temporal discrimination (e.g., temporal gap

detection), temporal ordering, and temporal masking; auditory performance with competing acoustic signals (including

dichotic listening); and auditory performance with degraded acoustic signals.“

„APD is characterised by poor perception of both speech and non-speech stimuli. Auditory “perception” is the awareness of acoustic

stimuli, forming the basis for subsequent action. Perception results from both sensory activation (via the ear) and neural processing that

integrates “bottom up” information with activity in other brain systems (e. g. vision, attention, memory). Insofar as difficulties in perceiving and

understanding speech sounds could arise from other causes (e. g. language impairment, non-native experience of a particular language), poor perception of speech alone is not sufficient evidence of APD. APD

has its origins in impaired neural function. The mechanisms underlying APD can include both afferent and efferent pathways in the auditory system, as well as higher level processing that provides “top-down” modulation of such pathways. (. . . ). APD is a collection of

symptoms that usually co-occurs with other neurodevelopmental disorders (. . . ) (poor language, literacy or attention, autism). APD is often

found alongside other diagnoses.“

• To diagnose (C)APD, there must be a clear discrepancy between the child's auditory and other cognitive abilities.

• It is possible to have both: attention deficit and (C)APD at the same time. a child with untreated attention deficit may not be able to concentrate enough on (C)APD testing

language-free tests:

• Pitch discrimination, “gap detection” show deficits in basal auditory processing and perception.

• language-free intelligence test

Dichotic speech audiometry

• to assess the ability to separate or integrate auditory stimuli, presenting different signals simultaneously to the right and left ear, e.g. syllables, numbers, words, sentences).

Tests for understanding in background noise• Selection: Is it possible to distinguish meaningful

information from background noises?• Child covers his ears hearing loud noises.• Child asks more often in case of background noises.

Binaural interaction tests• Localization: From which direction and distance does the

acoustic signal come? (classroom, traffic)• Binaural hearing enables orientation in the room by

evaluating time and intensity differences between both ears.

Phoneme differentiation tests

• to assess the ability to differentiate phonemes• Discrimination: Are the perceived auditory stimuli different

or the same or similar?

Phoneme identification tests

• to assess the ability to correctly recognize phonemes

H-LAD

Checking reading and writing skills

Short-term auditory memory tests

• Is it possible to keep the sentence which was said earlier in the working memory for a short time or to store that in the working memory in a certain order?

• Child cannot keep verbal orders and has difficulty writing dictations.

Tests for phonological awareness• to assess the ability to make use of the knowledge of the

phonetic structure of the language• Synthesis: Ability to construct a complex acoustic form

from single elements.

Example: Child can hardly combine single letters to a word. Child can form single phonemes correctly, but cannot

speak them correctly in one word with other phonemes.

1. Sh-oe; 2. th-i-n; 3. a-d-e-l-m-a-t (nonsense word); … Child should repeat this in connected way.PET (Psycholinguistischer Entwicklungstest)

Criteria for diagnosis of CAPD

6. Diagnostics: (Central) Auditory Processing Disorders

exclusion of peripheral hearing impairment

≥ 2 auditory partial performance regions affected (with significant norm deviations, preferably 2 standard deviations)

considering intellectual abilities (non-verbal IQ), speech development (e.g. pronunciation, speech comprehension, etc.), attention (ADHS)

• only a few studies about the success of therapeutic interventions or prognosis in (C)APD

• the methods of treatment have not yet been empirically tested; controlled intervention studies are still needed
