聽覺中樞處理異常的評估與處遇

Central Auditory Processing Disorder: Evaluation and Treatment

本文以聽覺中樞處理異常為主題，彙整2016美國聽力學學術研究會議與2017美國聽語學會年會在這個議題的報告，分成三項陳述：（一）聽力學學術研究會議中的綜合報告，包括從動物模型去探討神經發展的損傷對於音響處理的效應、聽覺皮質在聽力損失後的可塑性、長時間非創傷型噪音暴露是否會造成中樞聽覺處理異常、年長者的聽覺與認知處理、以及中樞聽覺訓練軟體與成效；（二）CAPD領域知名學者Jack Katz博士透過其學術經驗之分享，引領群眾認識CPAD的過去與現在；（三）Gail Chermak博士與Frank Musiek博士根據他們的觀察，提出聽覺處理異常當今議題；期待透過這些介紹，讀者對聽覺中樞處理異常有更加廣闊的視角。

This paper puts together the reports that focused on central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and were presented at 2016 Audiology Academy Research Conference (ARC) or at 2017 ASHA convention. The content was grouped into the following three themes: (1) CAPD-related papers presented at the 2016 Audiology ARC, including animal models of neurodevelopment disruption and associated acoustic processing, auditory cortex plasticity following hearing loss, long-term non-traumatic noise exposure (a cause of CAPD), auditory and cognitive processing in older adults, and the effect of CAPD software. (2) World famous researcher Dr. Jack Katz shared his academic experience and helped the audience to learn the CAPD path in the past as well as at the present. (3) Dr. Gail Chermak and Dr. Frank Musiek proposed current issues in CAPD. It is hoped that by reading this paper, readers will have a broader perspective on the issues related to CAPD.
