Auditory processing is not how well a person hears, but instead what the brain does with what a person hears. An individual can get a perfect score on a hearing screening yet still have extreme difficulty with an auditory processing test. Many term this a listening disorder, joking “He hears what he wants to hear.”

But in reality, auditory processing disorders can cause reading and spelling problems, in addition to difficulty following multi-step directions and remembering details from a story.

When you hear a clicking, swooshing, buzzing or other perception of sound when none is actually present, you are experiencing tinnitus (pronounced “TIN-itus” or “ti-NIGH-tus”). A common temporary condition, tinnitus can become a chronic, debilitating health issue.

Sound sensitivity—a condition that can be associated with tinnitus—causes you to have less tolerance for loud noises, so that you experience distress at lower volumes than other people.
