Best Hearing San Diego APD Therapy Mission

Best Hearing San Diego understands that every diagnosis and treatment is an individual matter. We also realize the types of struggles that a child deals with while living with untreated APD and we are here to help.

The goal of our comprehensive APD Testing & Treatment Program is to provide parents with the information, tools, and support they need so that “Together, we can help your child achieve their maximum potential!”

Consider us as your ultimate case management, treatment center, and referral source that coordinates and cares for the total needs of your family and your child right now and for life.


APD Symptoms Tree

Our APD Symptom Tree outlines the Primary Roots and Secondary Deficit Symptoms of unresolved APD. We believe that by treating these core deficits first, your child’s speech and language, attention and focus, academic learning, social relationships, and self-image will simultaneously improve.


BHSD APD Therapies 

CAPDOTS™ CI Therapy Program

A Dichotic Integration Listening Training Program

CAPDOTS™ CI is an at home computer-based program that utilizes time lead-lag, interaural differences (also referred to as DIID-II). It is an auditory training program module used to treat Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), specifically binaural integration deficits (also referred to as auditory divided attention). CAPDOTS™-Integrated has been used successfully in children and adults with autism, learning disabilities, dyslexia, and closed/traumatic head injuries. The module is based on principles of dichotic listening training and evolved from DIID (Dichotic Interaural Auditory Intensity Differences) training.

CAPDOTS™ CS Therapy Program

A Dichotic Selection/Separation Listening Training Program

CAPDOTS™ CS is an at home computer-based program that is useful for those with binaural separation deficits and who fail or present with atypical interaural symmetries on Competing Sentences type tests. This program presents dichotic stimuli at staggered onset times to favor the weaker (focus) ear.

ARIA™ Therapy Program

Auditory Rehabilitaion for Interaural Asymmetry

ARIA™ is in-clinic dichotic listening therapy to program to treat Amblyaudia, a condition where a child develops a dominant ear that suppresses sound information coming from the other side which creates a “lazy ear.” Amblyaudia (AMB) is a subtype of APD that emerges when listeners fail to normally process competing stimuli presented simultaneously to both ears.

ARIA is an in-clinic training regimen designed to specifically rehabilitate the deficit behind Amblyaudia and can only be done by ARIA™ Certified Audiologists.
