Rehabilitation of Adults with Auditory Processing Disorder and Normal Peripheral Hearing: Two Case Studies

The management of auditory processing disorder (APD) is frequently discussed for the school-aged population but management strategies are also needed for adults with APD. The strategies established for rehabilitation of APD are often targeted towards children and may not be appropriate for adults. These two case studies explore the results of utilising low-gain hearing aids coupled to an FM system for adults with APD and normal peripheral hearing. Results suggest that with appropriate management and follow up the utilisation of low-gain hearing aids coupled to an FM system may be a beneficial rehabilitation option.
