Auditory processing disorder Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a hearing or listening problem caused by the brain not processing sounds in the normal way.
What to Do if Your Baby's Screening Reveals a Possible Hearing Problem Remember, the hearing screening is only the first step. If the screening reveals that your baby may have hearing loss, the next step is to schedule an appointment for a follow-up examination with an audiologist (aw-dee-AH-luh-jist) before your baby is 3 months old.
