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.
For Hearing Specialists
Sound Scouts provides hearing specialists a validated web-based multi-test APD diagnostic battery, a gamified pure-tone audiometer accessed through the Sound Scouts app, and an evidence-based spatial processing training program for diagnosed clients.

The Challenge
Challenge 1
Pure-tone thresholds may be entirely normal while speech-in-noise processing is impaired.
Challenge 2
Without differential testing, it is difficult to isolate the source of a listening difficulty and recommend the right intervention.
Challenge 3
Once diagnosed, hearing specialists have limited options for structured, measurable follow-through.
The clinical loop
The Sound Scouts app flags a potential listening difficulty.
The APD Suite test battery differentiates auditory processing deficits from cognitive and language causes. LiSN-S & LiSN-U identify spatial processing disorder.
Where spatial processing disorder is confirmed, Soundiverse delivers targeted auditory training.
Re-administered APD testing following completion of the auditory training program to assess improvements.
