This is a lot of info for a layman to absorb and quantify. I am not sure whether I recognized specific issues, but still I'm not convinced I don't have an APD issue. My biggest problems in "life" are 1) having to speak on the phone: I can feel my blood pressure rising from fear of not catching everything and being afraid I'm missing something important or I simply won't be able to reply. 2) I start panicking if I have to listen to directions: I'm terrified I will mess things up if I don't get the directions right and I am always afraid I won't be able to follow them. While the person is talking, I start panicking, just like on the phone. (I'm feeling a fear sensation in my stomach even as I describe it here). I was a horrible student until high school and some of the things you spoke about with little kids in school sounded familiar (and made me sad that nobody thought maybe I needed help with processing rather than that I was BAD or LAZY). I work very hard and I would rather iron shirts for two hours than speak on the phone for two minutes. I would rather drive to another part of town to speak to a clerk in person than make a phone call. I have no idea where to look for help. My husband wears hearing aids so I asked the hearing-aid staff about it and they acted as if they didn't know where to get help for my issue.
I can't wait for my audiology appointment. I'm 50 yrs old and just coming to realize in the past few months that I'm most likely autistic. I've been to OT about SPD and I definitely have types 1 and 3 (2 is motor, I believe). I followed this vid fairly well until the case studies started then my brain shut off. I hear the words and recognize them but no comprehension. Things have massively changed in many of my autistic characteristics in the past 3 yrs which is why I've noticed it. Sound-wise, I've always had audio issues when it comes to focusing on one sound. If there is other background sound, it's hard to fully get everything. But now I've got this weird sound field that sounds/feels kinda like the air is moving and it's quite disturbing. I can also detect sound vibrations in my ear canal which tickles and drives me insane. Also, sound can cause pain and increase pain I'm already in. Even hospitals can be chaotically loud now? And I used to watch people's lips to help fill in the gaps in conversations but I'm now having trouble with keeping eye contact. Plus I keep losing track of what I'm talking about during conversation, forgetting everything, can't follow the trail of breadcrumbs back to the main topic, etc etc. I literally saw a memory doctor thinking I was showing early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's. Now I'm excited for my audiology appointment (waiting for referral to go through). I'm hoping there's a way to make this better (like my new active noise canceling headphones I had to buy) but if nothing else, understanding what's going on will be insanely helpful.
I'm young for hearing aids, but I could tell I was having issues understanding. This explanation makes total sense, she is so knowledgeable. :D Thank you
Dr Ferre: Thank you for this video - it is extremely informative. For an adult who thinks s/he may have CAPD, should they visit an audiologist or neurologist? If a neurologist, is there a certain kind of sub-specialization? Thank you
Would someone’s ability to “find” a sound, or be able to sense what direction it came from when the source isn’t seen, be considered part of the “attending” step? That’s one I have a real hard time with
I can understand and comprehend what someone is saying the moment they say it, but when they have finished speaking, I immediately forget what they have said.
I can relate to this a lot. In fact, I can't watch the rest of the video so I paused so I can watch it later cause it tires me a lot to keep my focus on people speaking for so long.
That's a lot of tests. I only took 3 tests in my battery a couple years ago: Staggered Spondaic Word Test (SSW), background noise test (specific name of test wasn't given), and phonemic synthesis. There was also testing on the iPad in the form of games, but I don't know which auditory skills were tested in those games. One was probably tolerance fading memory which I see listed in my lab results. For context purposes, I'm 27 and was looking to improve my APD symptoms after years of suffering
I don’t mind seeking help I just like to know how I can find out what test can better help him so learning the characteristics or symptoms is so important can you help me
Absolutely! I was referred by an another Audiologist in Oakbrook, IL to be tested by Dr. Ferre. I knew I had APD since childhood, but never formally tested. Little did I know, Dr. Ferre is truly the best out there.
@@Akewataru133 I did all these tests that the doctor was talking about throughout my childhood. It was really hard because they really do overload you with auditory tests. I would say I feel bad for you because school might have been hard in general population. My experience was not that great, being is special education was worse then being in normal population. The emotional part of being made fun of, along with the distraction of being with kids with behavioral problems.
@@rickypelletier363 funny you mention it, going special ed. was like a open secret. Those that knew didn’t talk about it, and other people didn’t know. Plus, I stopped going after seventh grade. Fortunately, I was intelligent kid, with an engaging personality, and somewhat of a people pleaser so I got by fairly well in school and currently in the workplace.
Please, my grandson (6 years old) needs to be diagnosed to see if his problem may be cap-d. Can you refer us to a professional in this area ( Suffolk County, NY) or NY city that you have confidence in. There are so many things that you speak of that seem so very familiar to my grandson. Ordering errors, short term memory, His ears are fine. But he seems to have almost a mental block when it comes to hearing.
My daughter was tested when she was about 10 .. her speech teacher gave us a reference , and they did a whole 3 day panel for ADD and for CAPD all so . Or maybe his pediatrician can give you a reference .
I'm going to add close captions on this. People with APD find captions very helpful.

Thanks for this! Just gonna put below with the specific deficits for my own reference (hopefully helpful for others)
Primary profiles
15:46 - Cam: decoding deficit
17:25 - Sergio: frequency-specific decoding deficit
20:06 - Rachel: integration deficit
22:01 - Ryan: prosodic deficit
Secondary profiles
25:15 - Marc: associative deficit
26:42 - Alex: output-organization deficit
28:05 - Aidan: no clear pattern of CAPD (deficits possibly caused by ADD)
she is great full of knowledge woman

I also find phone calls incredibly stressful
Thank god for subtitles. :D
That woman is awesome! Thank you so much for this video.

This was so educational for me! Thank you!
Amazing explanations!

Only an Audiologist can test for CAPD.

yes its an apd sign for sure

Where did you go to get tested? What type of professional? I don't have a clue where to look.
you should see a specialized of apd audiologist @@susie5254
I don’t mind seeking help I just like to know how I can find out what test can better help him so learning the characteristics or symptoms is so important can you help me
Where can I get this testing in Sydney Australia. My son is 16 yrs of age.
Very helpful!
Can these tests be done with adults as well as children?
Absolutely! I was referred by an another Audiologist in Oakbrook, IL to be tested by Dr. Ferre. I knew I had APD since childhood, but never formally tested. Little did I know, Dr. Ferre is truly the best out there.

Why would you not add captions to your videos if you understand CAPD?
The teachers on Charlie Brown cartoons are prime examples of this.
My child has immediate and delayed echolalia. Could that be part of auditory processing disorder?
fascinating

Can you clear wat did you mean by "AD" "AS" "AU" metioned in case presentations.
AD-right ear, AS-left ear, AU-binaural
It would be nice if you talked so a person with CAPD could understand, thank you.
What is her name?
I have mild APD with ADD. People think Im retarded. i cant follow lectures or instructions properly at all.
Yeah after about 3 or 5 words of just hearing to make a word I can’t keep up and lose my track and have to start all over.
