We are happy to have a local audiologist from Hear, Inc. give a talk to our members on Friday, June 13th.
There is more to enjoying conversation than just being able to pick up sound. Your brain needs to process the sound, give it meaning, and make sense of it. Sometime, even with normal hearing or functioning hearing aids, individuals struggle to interpret the sound cues around them. This may indicate the presence of an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).
This talk will introduce you to:
• the normally functioning auditory system • causes and impacts of APD
• how APD is identified
• what can be done to treat APD.
They’ll also offer some simple suggestions you can incorporate into your everyday life to help keep your auditory system functioning its best!
