Abstract

Abstract: The Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is defined as a deficit in one or more central auditory processes, characterized by one or more alterations in auditory skills. When an individual is diagnosed with CAPD, speech therapy rehabilitation is recommended with an emphasis on auditory training. Objective: The objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of Formal Auditory Training and Informal Auditory Training in individuals with Central Auditory Processing Disorder. Method: This was a literature review aimed at answering the target question: "What is the efficiency of formal auditory training and informal auditory training in the rehabilitation of central auditory processing disorders?" The bibliographic research used the BVSalud and Google Academy databases, combining the descriptors "hearing," "neuronal plasticity," "central auditory processing," "auditory skills," and "auditory training." Results and Conclusion: According to the findings, both Formal Auditory Training and Informal Auditory Training were effective in rehabilitating individuals with CAPD and positively contributed to the cognitive-auditory rehabilitation of patients with other disorders such as phonetic/phonological alterations, reading disorders and learning difficulties, mild cognitive impairment, and patients who suffered mild brain injury and traumatic brain injuries.
