Item analysis revealed that respondents identified a reasonably exclusive set of behaviors characterizing APD and ADHD-PI. There isn’t a cure for APD, but treatment helps people manage the condition. People with APD can hear, but they may have trouble understanding certain sounds. Audiologists ranked the degree to which each symptom pertained to individuals with APD, and pediatricians ranked the same symptom as it relates to ADHD-PI. Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a condition where your brain can’t understand and interpret auditory signals the way it should. The present study extends this research by comparing audiologists' and pediatricians' rankings of 58 behavioral symptoms associated with APD and ADHD predominantly inattentive (PI) subtype, the ADHD subtype that presents without hyperactivity and impulsivity. Previous research has demonstrated that professionals use different behavioral descriptors to characterize APD and ADHD combined and predominantly hyperactive-impulsive subtypes, which present with hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. ![]() Causes include brain maturation delays and brain traumas or tumors. Auditory processing disorder (APD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) present overlapping symptomatology. It is included in ICD-10 as code 93.25 with the following definition: A disorder characterized by impairment of the auditory processing, resulting in deficiencies in the recognition and interpretation of sounds by the brain. ![]()
