Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

Central auditory processing disorder or CAPD is a neurological deficit that affects how the brain processes spoken language and is estimated to affect about 5% of the human population. This condition makes it difficult for affected adults and children to understand verbal statements or filter out background noise when listening to somebody talk. Indeed, such individuals may complain of being able to hear fine, but have trouble understanding. This condition results from deficits in the brain pathways responsible for processing sound. There is no hearing loss or any problems with the ear itself. All hearing tests come back normal.
