Abstract

Background and Aim: Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) was defined as involving deficits in localization, lateralization, auditory discrimination, pattern recognition skills, temporal processing, and performance decrements with competing or degraded auditory signals.CAPD prevalence in children 2 to 3 percent and the adult population is approximately 70 percent.Interventions for central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) is based on the neuroplasticity,Stimulate the audio system can be improved auditory processing ability. The importance of our study is that if CAPD left untreated may result in poor understanding speech, loss of function of behavior, poor school performance and impact in the field of psychology, and social communications therefore obtain the best method of treatment is important.
Conclusion: In the intervention should use of top-down and bottom-up methods of treatment. Treatment should be based on age, language features and Specific defects person with CAPD.It is better a multi-disciplinary intervention In addition to the remedies hearing, speech and language therapy, and psychological well done.
