Auditory processing is a phrase used to describe an individual’s ability to discern complex auditory information, beyond the level of detection (e.g., pure-tone audiometry). As patient reports of poor understanding in noise continue to increase among those with and without hearing loss, it becomes paramount that audiologists know how to incorporate measures ‘beyond the audiogram’ into everyday practice. The purpose of this talk is to describe the stereotypical limitations associated with auditory processing testing and layout research studies that overcome these hurdles. Assessing auditory processing abilities no longer has to be reserved for the select few who are considered “Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) audiologists” who have trained in administration and interpretation, thus, providing better access and outcomes for patients with complaints beyond what a pure-tone audiogram can identify.
