Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), now commonly referred to as simply auditory processing disorder (APD), is when normal hearing is present, yet the brain has difficulty interpreting what it hears. While auditory hyper and hypo sensitivities could be considered an auditory processing disorder (since they refer to a dysfunction in the processing of sound), this term is commonly used to describe dysfunction in the brain’s ability to translate sounds. It’s important to note that terms related to auditory processing are not always defined consistently. Unable to recognize where sound is coming from.Needs you to repeat yourself often or doesn’t seem to understand what you said.Doesn’t respond promptly to name being called.

Dislikes noisy places such as malls, movie theaters, parades, fairs, etc….Prefers to keep television, radio, or music very loud.Becomes upset with others for being too loud (but are often times very loud themselves).Annoyed or distracted by sounds most of us either don’t notice or become used to such as fans, clocks, refrigerators, outside traffic, etc.
Overreaction to loud or unexpected sounds (covering ears, crying, running away, aggression). Fear of sounds from hair or hand dryers, vacuums, flushing toilets, etc. Below are red flags for hypo and hyper sensitivity to noise: On the other hand, you may see a child with a hyposensitive auditory system seeking out loud noises or demonstrating difficulty localizing and distinguishing sounds. This understandably puts extra stress on them and causes difficulty filtering out background noises that most of us don’t even notice. When this muscle is not properly contracting, sounds may seem louder to these children. This may be due to an improperly functioning stapedius, which is a middle ear muscle that contracts in response to loud noise in order to protect the hair cells of our inner ears. When a child overreacts to sounds or seems easily distracted by noise that many of us can tune out, she is demonstrating auditory hypersensitivity. Much like the tactile system, discussed in the previous post of this series, the auditory system refers to our ability to take in information, process it, and produce an appropriate response. “I know there’s nothing wrong with her hearing but I have to call her name 100 times!”
