Overview
In the beginning, many people may be involved in evaluating symptoms and signs of auditory processing disorder. For example, a psychologist may do tests to evaluate cognitive function and a speech-language pathologist may evaluate verbal and written language skills. However, audiologists make the actual diagnosis. Audiologists may use different listening tests to diagnose auditory processing disorder.
