- Auditory integration training - Auditory integration training (AIT) is a program designed to treat auditory processing disorders (APD) (previously termed central auditory processing disorders or CAPD). AIT is an intervention that aims to help an individual make the most use of his or her residual hearing, and so improve the ability to understand speech and sounds in the environment (Davis 1999, 189).
- Primary auditory cortex - The primary auditory cortex is the region of the brain that is responsible for processing of auditory (sound) information.
- Auditory masking - Auditory masking is when the perception of one sound is affected by the presence of another sound (Gelfand 2004). The term masking is not confined to auditory perception as it can also be used in visual perception tasks.
- Auditory neuropathy - Auditory neuropathy is a variety of hearing loss in which the outer hair cells within the cochlea are present and functional, but sound information is not faithfully transmitted to the auditory nerve and brain properly.
- Auditory-verbal therapy - Auditory-verbal therapy is a method for teaching deaf children to listen and speak using their residual hearing in addition to the constant use of amplification devices such as hearing aids, FM devices, and cochlear implants. Auditory-verbal therapy emphasizes speech and listening, discouraging reliance on visual communication such as lip-reading or Signed Languages ( American Sign Language, British Sign Language, etc).
