Memory Impairment and Sound Processing Disorder

Sound processing disorder is classified by the inability to hear or distinguish sounds with other competing sounds present. For instance, traffic, running water or the sound of a lawnmower in another yard may prevent those suffering from this impairment to hear or distinguish sounds from one another. Studies have shown that people with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease suffer from sound processing disorder.

People who may suffer from sound processing disorder are:

  • Children
  • Adults
  • People suffering from neurodegenerative diseases
In a recent study doctors assessed 313 individuals; the average age was 80 years old. Seventeen of the individuals had been diagnosed with dementia, 64 with mild memory impairment but not dementia diagnosis, and 232 with no memory loss. Participants were given tests designed to gauge central auditory processing. In one test, for example, nonsense sentences were read over the background of a story. The average scores on central auditory processing tests were significantly lower in the group with dementia and in the group with mild memory impairment than in the control group without memory problems.

Sound processing disorder, therefore, appears to coincide with neurodegenerative disorders in certain cases. If you feel that you may be suffering from either memory impairment or sound processing disorder, be sure to voice your concerns to your healthcare provider.
