    A Cure For Tinnitus at UTD?

    A promising new therapy has made its way from Australia to the States. The Callier Center for Communication Disorders at University of Texas at Dallas is one of about 200 medical centers offering Neuromonics, a treatment device for tinnitus developed by an Australian audiologist, Dr. Paul Davis.

Rehabilitation of Adults with Auditory Processing Disorder and Normal Peripheral Hearing: Two Case Studies

Posted by Callier Library on October 22, 2007

from the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology

The management of auditory processing disorder (APD) is frequently discussed for the school-aged population but management strategies are also needed for adults with APD. The strategies established for rehabilitation of APD are often targeted towards children and may not be appropriate for adults. These two case studies explore the results of utilising low-gain hearing aids coupled to an FM system for adults with APD and normal peripheral hearing. Results suggest that with appropriate management and follow up the utilisation of low-gain hearing aids coupled to an FM system may be a beneficial rehabilitation option.

    I am an adult recently diagnosed with APD I am confused as to how or why I have this. I am confused as to why it was not diagnosed earlier. I had no learning or behavioural difficulties as a child and infact was quite the academic at school. I don’t understand!!
