Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD) Working Group

Image: Military risk factors, comorbidities, and multidisciplinary treatments for auditory processing dysfunctionThe Central Auditory Processing Group (CAPD) Working Group is a consortium of interested VA and DoD hearing health care researchers and clinicians who work to improve diagnosis, management, and outcomes of auditory processing dysfunction for Service members and Veterans. Our population of interest typically has normal or near-normal hearing sensitivity, worse-than-expected results on tests of auditory processing, and known exposure to possible risk factors. We develop tools and resources to:

  • identify militarily relevant risk factors for CAPD,
  • recognize comorbidities and symptoms that can complicate the evaluation and management of auditory processing deficits, and 
  • advance evidence-based treatment strategies for CAPD.
Our working strategy is to evaluate and advance the state of the science, conduct outreach and education, bring evidence-based practices to DoD and VA clinicians, and educate ourselves and each other.
