Impairment in central auditory processing is found with even very mild memory impairment, according to research published in the Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. Here are some facts about central auditory processing: • It refers to the ability to make out relevant sounds in the presence of competing auditory stressors. • Difficulty with central auditory processing can often occur in those with normal or near normal hearing in quiet settings. • Impaired central auditory processing is not helped with traditional amplification, such as hearing aids.
