Causes Of Auditory Processing Disorder

Auditory processing disorder occurs most often in younger children. The disorder is marked by extreme difficulty in taking in and understanding verbal information, even in individuals with no auditory impairment such as deafness. Auditory processing disorder can also make it hard for an individual to share verbal information in a sensical manner. Damage to the ears does not cause this disorder. It also is not caused by damage to areas that sense sounds, since auditory processing disorder affects a patient's ability to perceive, or make sense of, an audible sensation.
