The Challenge

The diagnostic gap in auditory processing

Challenge 1

Clients referred for listening difficulty often need more than a standard audiogram

Pure-tone thresholds may be entirely normal while speech-in-noise processing is impaired.

Challenge 2

Auditory processing disorder can be misdiagnosed as behavioural, attention, or language delay

Without differential testing, it is difficult to isolate the source of a listening difficulty and recommend the right intervention.

Challenge 3

There is no language independent , evidence-based training program for spatial processing disorder

Once diagnosed, hearing specialists have limited options for structured, measurable follow-through.

The clinical loop

Screen to re-measure in four steps

Screen

The Sound Scouts app flags a potential listening difficulty.

Diagnose

The APD Suite test battery differentiates auditory processing deficits from cognitive and language causes. LiSN-S & LiSN-U identify spatial processing disorder.

Treat

Where spatial processing disorder is confirmed, Soundiverse delivers targeted auditory training.

Re-measure

Re-administered APD testing following completion of the auditory training programme to assess improvements.
