Auditory Processing & Advanced Hearing Screening

A standard hearing test measures whether you can detect sound. It doesn't measure how your brain processes what it hears. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) occurs when the central auditory nervous system has difficulty recognizing and interpreting sounds — even when peripheral hearing is normal.

• Difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments
• Frequently asking "What?" even when hearing seems fine
• Trouble following multi-step verbal instructions
• Challenges with reading, spelling, or academic performance in children

AuDSLP uses the Acoustic Pioneer clinical platform for auditory processing assessment and therapy — a validated, evidence-based system that brings precision and consistency to APD care.

• Standardized APD testing battery aligned with AAA and ASHA clinical guidelines
• Frequency-specific auditory training that adapts to each patient's deficit profile
• Progress tracking with objective metrics across therapy sessions
• ANSI/IEC-certified hearing screening protocols for schools, workplaces, and clinical settings

• Children struggling with listening, reading, or following directions in school — especially when hearing tests come back "normal"
• Adults who find it exhausting to follow conversations in noise, on the phone, or in group settings
• Patients with concussion/TBI history experiencing new difficulty processing speech
• Anyone referred by a physician, educator, or SLP for suspected APD

APD evaluation is typically recommended for children age 7 and older, though screening can begin earlier. Adults of any age can be assessed.

In addition to APD assessment, Dr. Boiselle provides ANSI S3.6 / IEC 60645-compliant hearing screening using calibrated Acoustic Pioneer equipment — meeting the highest industry standards for accuracy.

• School & workplace screenings that meet state and OSHA requirements
• Pediatric screening for early identification of hearing concerns
• Pre-employment and occupational screenings with documented calibration records
• Results available immediately with referral for full evaluation when indicated

• Step 1 — Intake & History: Review of symptoms, academic/work challenges, medical history, and prior testing
• Step 2 — Comprehensive APD Battery: Standardized tests assessing temporal processing, dichotic listening, auditory discrimination, and speech-in-noise performance
• Step 3 — Results & Recommendations: Clear diagnostic report with individualized therapy plan and accommodations for school or work
• Step 4 — Auditory Training Therapy: Targeted, frequency-specific exercises via the Acoustic Pioneer platform with regular progress monitoring

We coordinate with schools, employers, physicians, and speech-language pathologists to ensure a team-based approach.
