Test-retest reliability of the Greek Speech-in-babble test (SinB) as a potential screening tool for auditory processing disorder

摘要

Introduction: There seems to exist a specific group of people considered to be at higher risk of having Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). These patients are frequently initially referred to, or managed by various professionals such as Otolaryngologists, Speech Therapists, and Occupational Therapists. It is, therefore, essential to retain a low threshold of when to refer such individuals for a formal APD diagnostic evaluation. Under these circumstances, there might be a role for the Greek Speech-in-Babble (SinB) recognition WA as a screening tool for abnormal auditory processing competency.
