Many people with autism experience auditory processing difficulties and research confirms that they benefit from the same treatments which help other people with auditory processing disorders. This personal testimony provides an illuminating insight into the experiences and benefits of hearing aid use to alleviate auditory processing difficulties.
Note: SoundSkills adheres to international protocols which require hearing aids to be fitted by an audiologist using “real ear” acoustic measurement methods to determine the actual sound levels in the user’s ears (that is, not remote hearing aid fitting by estimation and postal delivery). SoundSkills also follows research evidence in recommending accessory remote microphones with low-gain hearing aid fittings to provide enhanced audibility in situations where the background noise level or distance from the speaker are such that it is difficult for hearing aids alone to provide sufficient assistance.
