Prior to evaluation with the Buffalo Battery pure-tone thresholds, tympanometry and acoustic reflexes should be carried out to determine the status of the person's peripheral hearing and middle ear functions."But the four categories within the Buffalo Model can help us understand the child's deficits," Dr. Richburg said. Decoding deficits refer to the difficulty children have in processing what they hear accurately and quickly. They have problems keeping up with the flow of communication and running discourse."These children have problems processing at a phonemic level," she explained. "They can't put 'sh,' 'u' and 't' together to make the word 'shut.' They have poor phonic abilities and trouble reading and spelling."These children also may have receptive language problems and impairments in discrimination, closure abilities and temporal resolution. "That's my problem with these categories," she said. "A lot falls under this one decoding deficit classification."Children with tolerance-fading memory deficits have difficulty blocking out background noise. Their performance suffers in a noisy classroom environment, leading teachers to label them as distractible. They have poor reading comprehension, oral and written expression, and short-term memory, which prevents them from filling in the information they might have missed.Integration deficits make it difficult for children to bring in information from different modalities, such as receiving auditory and visual information at the same time. These children often are labeled as learning disabled or even dyslexic. They may be poor readers, have trouble with spelling, and exhibit difficulty with multimodal tasks. "If they see and hear something, it's as if one is cancelling out the other," Dr. Richburg said. "It creates confusion." They may have word-finding problems and trouble with oral and written language expression as well.Children with organization deficits often have a disheveled appearance, disorganized thoughts and messy handwriting. They turn in sloppy work and fatigue easily because of the constant energy they must exert in trying to organize their thoughts."The literature says they frustrate easily and try to take shortcuts because that seems easier for them," said Dr. Richburg. "They are trying to reduce all the strain and fatigue they have when trying to listen to their environment."

Sounds are redundant, and auditory system is redundant
The Committee of UK Medical Professionals Steering the UK Auditory Processing Disorder Research Program have developed the following working definition of Auditory Processing Disorder: "APD results from impaired neural function and is characterized by poor recognition, discrimination, separation, grouping, localization, or ordering of speech sounds. It does not solely result from a deficit in general attention, language or other cognitive processes.

Dx approach
Strive for it, be open to seeing modularity. And also note nonmodularity when it shows up.One particular area of debate has concerned the modality-specific nature of (C)APD and its differential diagnosis. Some definitions of (C)APD imply (or state outright) that the diagnosis of (C)APD can be applied only when a (perceptual) deficit is demonstrated in the auditory system and nowhere else (e.g., Cacace & McFarland, 1998; Jerger & Musiek, 2000; McFarland & Cacace, 1995). At its extreme, this would mean that individuals with auditory temporal processing deficits who also display pansensory temporal deficits (e.g., Tallal, Miller, & Fitch, 1993) would, therefore, not meet diagnostic criteria for (C)APD. An extensive literature in neuroscience influenced the Working Group's conclusion that the requirement of “modality-specificity” as a diagnostic criterion for (C)APD is not consistent with how processing actually occurs in the CNS. Basic cognitive neuroscience has shown that there are few, if any, entirely compartmentalized areas in the brain that are solely responsible for a single sensory modality (Poremba et al., 2003; Salvi et al., 2002). Instead, multimodality influences inform even the most basic neural encoding and manipulation of sensory stimuli (e.g., Calvert et al., 1997; Mottonen, Schurmann, & Sams, 2004; Sams et al., 1991). Evidence of convergent sensory “tracks,” multisensory neurons, and neural interfacing further demonstrates the interdependent and integrated processing of sensory data, supported by cognitive domains (i.e., attention, memory) and language representations (e.g., Bashford, Reinger, & Warren, 1992; Bradlow & Pisoni, 1999; Groenen, 1997; Phillips, 1995; Salasoo & Pisoni, 1985). In fact, a rigorous assessment of multimodality function is not within the scope of practice of any one professional group or discipline. Therefore, based on an extensive review of the literature in auditory and cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, and related areas, this Working Group concluded that any definition of (C)APD that specifies complete modality-specificity as a diagnostic criterion is neurophysiologically untenable. Instead, our definition and conceptualization of (C)APD must be consistent with the manner in which auditory and related processing occurs in the CNS. Nevertheless, it is recognized that individuals with (C)APD exhibit sensory processing deficits that are more pronounced in the auditory modality and, in some individuals, auditory-modality-specific effects may be demonstrated (Cacace & McFarland, 1998).
