Auditory Perceptual Disorders (Auditory Processing Disorder)

Subscribe to New Research on Auditory Perceptual Disorders

Acquired or developmental cognitive disorders of AUDITORY PERCEPTION characterized by a reduced ability to perceive information contained in auditory stimuli despite intact auditory pathways. Affected individuals have difficulty with speech perception, sound localization, and comprehending the meaning of inflections of speech.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Auditory Perceptual Disorders:

1.	pamidronate (APD)FDA LinkGeneric 11/01/2008 - "(Central) Auditory Processing Disorders (C)APD are becoming ever more diagnosed in children, though there is no agreement on diagnostic markers (gold standard for (C)APD diagnosis). " 07/01/2011 - "In this systematic review, the peer-reviewed literature on the efficacy of interventions for school-age children with auditory processing disorder (APD) is critically evaluated. " 11/01/2015 - "In this study, the authors assessed the potential utility of a recently developed questionnaire (Evaluation of Children's Listening and Processing Skills [ECLiPS]) for supporting the clinical assessment of children referred for auditory processing disorder (APD). " 06/01/2015 - "This study investigated whether young adults (between 18 and 30 years at the time of the project) who were assessed for auditory processing disorder (APD) in childhood (between 7 and 16 years) experience persistence of listening and communication difficulties. " 11/01/2014 - "This study assessed the effect of cognition abilities (working memory capacity) on sound lateralization in children with auditory processing disorders, in order to determine how "auditory cognition" interacts with APD. "
2.	Biological Markers (Surrogate Marker)IBA 10/01/2005 - "Overall, the auditory brain stem response to speech provides a way to access subcortical auditory processing mechanisms and may be used as a biological marker of deficient sound encoding associated with learning and auditory processing disorders." 07/01/2014 - "The purpose of the present study was to identify biomarkers of listening difficulties by investigating white matter microstructure in children suspected of auditory processing disorder (APD) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). "
3.	A-factor (Streptomyces)IBA 05/01/2014 - "Assessment of children with suspected auditory processing disorder: a factor analysis study." 01/01/2004 - "Taken together, these findings suggest that failure to achieve appropriate temporally correlated bihemispheric brain activity in response to auditory stimulation, perhaps as a result of faulty interhemispheric communication via corpus callosum, may be a factor in at least some children with auditory processing disorder."
4.	Auditory neuropathyIBA 11/01/2013 - "The wide range of clinical applications, such as assessment of auditory neuropathy, auditory processing disorders, learning disability, monitoring success in auditory intervention and others illustrate the significance of this measurement. " 07/01/2013 - "Disorders of temporal processing are a characteristic feature of auditory neuropathy, a significant component of the hearing problems that occur in the elderly, and a possible etiological factor in developmental dyslexia and central auditory processing disorders. " 02/01/2013 - "The differential diagnosis includes auditory processing disorder, elevated thresholds in mental retardation and auditory neuropathy. " 11/01/2003 - "Finally, the concern is raised that partial or isolated neurologic sequelae, for example auditory neuropathy and other central auditory processing disorders, may result from excessive amount and duration of exposure to free, unconjugated bilirubin at different stages of neurodevelopment."
5.	Carbon MonoxideIBA 05/01/2006 - "Significant results from the correlation analyses support the co-morbidity of reading and auditory processing disorders. " 08/13/2014 - "Because of the frequent co-occurrence of central auditory processing disorders and attentional deficits, we also tested 21 children with attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder [AD(H)D]. "
6.	imidazole mustard (BIC)IBA 10/01/2003 - "The binaural interaction component (BIC) in children with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD)." 01/01/1999 - "The binaural interaction component (BIC) occurring in the latency range of peak V of the auditory brainstem responses (ABR) was investigated in nine normal children, comprising the control group, and nine children at risk for central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), comprising the CAPD group. "
7.	Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors (Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors)IBA 09/01/2004 - "Serotonin reuptake inhibitors in auditory processing disorders in elderly patients: preliminary results."
8.	PlasticsIBA 01/01/2014 - "Salicylate-induced auditory perceptual disorders and plastic changes in nonclassical auditory centers in rats."
9.	Methylphenidate (Ritalin)FDA LinkGeneric 08/01/2000 - "Effects of methylphenidate (Ritalin) on auditory performance in children with attention and auditory processing disorders."
10.	Dopamine (Intropin)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/2012 - "The synthesis offered in this article appears to be the first to argue that genetic differences in dopamine metabolism may be the common factor in four disparate disorders that are often observed to be comorbid, i.e., attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, auditory processing disorders, developmental language disorders, and reading disorders."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) 09/01/1996 - "The present study compared the performance of 30 children, 26 boys and 4 girls ranging in age from 9-0 to 12-11, with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) who did not meet criteria for coexisting ADHD with the performance of children with CAPD coexisting with ADHD (CAPD/ADHD) on the Auditory Continuous Performance Test (ACPT). " 09/01/2015 - "Therefore, we assessed the central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) in patients with different subtypes of SCA. " 01/01/2015 - "Central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) can affect children and adults of all ages due to a wide variety of causes. " 05/01/2009 - "The clinical relevance of central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) is highly controversial. " 06/01/2007 - "Central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) are associated with reduced discriminatory abilities of the auditory system. "
2.	Hearing Aids (Hearing Aid) 12/01/1991 - "Special hearing aid considerations in elderly patients with auditory processing disorders." 01/01/1978 - "Auditory processing disorders and problems with hearing-aid fitting in old age."
3.	Sensory Aids (Sensory Aid) 12/01/2000 - "The implications of these findings extend to recommendations provided to children in noisy listening conditions, speechreading training in hearing-impaired children and those with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), and to the design of sensory aids."
4.	Rehabilitation 06/01/1999 - "Habilitation and management of auditory processing disorders: overview of selected procedures."
5.	Lipreading (Lip Reading) 12/01/2000 - "The implications of these findings extend to recommendations provided to children in noisy listening conditions, speechreading training in hearing-impaired children and those with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), and to the design of sensory aids."
