Auditory Processing Disorder Assessment in Ottawa & Kanata
Auditory Processing Disorder can affect how the brain understands and organizes sound, even when hearing test results are normal.
At Ottawa Hears Audiology, we provide comprehensive APD assessments for children and adults ages 7 and older to better understand listening challenges, speech-in-noise difficulties, classroom concerns, attention-related listening fatigue, and communication struggles.
Assessments are performed by our Doctor of Audiology with personalized recommendations for school, work, and daily life.
An APD assessment may be helpful if you or your child experiences:
✅ Difficulty understanding speech in background noise
✅ Frequent “What?” or “Huh?”
✅ Trouble following multi-step instructions
✅ Mishearing words or confusing similar-sounding words
✅ Listening fatigue
✅ Difficulty focusing during verbal instructions
✅ Trouble in classrooms, meetings, or group conversations
✅ Sound sensitivity or feeling overwhelmed by noise
✅ Normal hearing test results, but ongoing listening difficulties
