A study by Almendra Cruz, de Andrade, and Gil in 2013 looked at 18 individuals with auditory processing disorders between the ages of 16-38 years old. All of these individuals underwent a formal auditory training program. This program was conducted in 8 sessions for 45 minutes each, twice a week. These sessions included, “auditory closure, figure-ground for sentences, words, syllables and sounds and nonverbal temporal processing of sounds.” Results indicated that both males and females achieved better results after training with significant differences on the duration pattern test and frequency pattern test. In conclusion, the auditory training program was effective with regard to the hearing rehabilitation of adults with APD. Improvements
