Adolescents accurately perceive their auditory processing risks, unlike their parents. Their self-assessment aligns with behavioral evaluations for central auditory processing disorder (CAPD).
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Neuroscience
- Developmental Psychology
Background:
- Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is typically diagnosed via behavioral tests.
- Screening tools like validated questionnaires can identify adolescents at risk for CAPD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare adolescents' self-perception of auditory behavior with their parents' perception.
- To assess the agreement between self/parental perception and behavioral evaluation of central auditory processing (CAP).
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 40 adolescents and 40 parents.
- Participants completed the Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire.
- Adolescents underwent behavioral evaluation for CAP.
Main Results:
- Adolescents perceived their auditory behavior as 'low risk' for CAPD; parents rated it as 'typical'.
- A significant difference was found between adolescents' self-perception and behavioral evaluation outcomes.
- Behavioral evaluation revealed alterations in 42.5% of adolescents.
Conclusions:
- Adolescents recognize their auditory difficulties, classifying them as 'low risk' for CAPD, a perception not shared by parents.
- Agreement was found between adolescents' self-perception and their actual CAP behavioral evaluation.
