Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Suffering from auditory processing disorder (based on the results of Digit Dichotic Test (DDT), Pitch Pattern sequence Test (PPT), speech in noise BKB-SIN) 2. The health of the peripheral auditory system means the absence of middle ear problems and hearing loss (with audiometry and otoscopy) 3. Obtaining a score of at least 4 for the Forward Digit Span Test and 70% in the mSAAT test (considering that a person needs to have a capacity of at least 4 units of numbers to properly perform the binary Digit Dichotic Test and to participate in the speech test in noise requires the ability of auditory selective attention . Also, to make sure that the decrease in scores in the Digit Dichotic Test and speech in noise is due to auditory processing disorder and not due to cognitive problems. 4. Right hand (Edinburgh Questionnaire - Appendix No. 3)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Suffering from psychiatric diseases such as depression or schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism that have led to the use of drugs (through personal characteristics questionnaire-appendix no. 2, examination of the student's health record - in case of observing suspicious behavior, person will be referred to psychiatrist or psychologist for further diagnosis ) 2. Taking any drugs related to psychiatric and neurological diseases, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism (antidepressants, Ritalin, etc.) (suspect will be referred to a psychiatrist or psychologist for further diagnosis) 3. Weak cooperation in answering the tests (due to the subjective nature of the tests - in case of severe anxiety that leads to non-cooperation in the tests, he/she will be not included ) 4. Severe vestibular problems (screening for vestibular disorders by examining spontaneous nystagmus, Halmágyi – Curthoys Head Impulse Test(HIT), Subjective Visual Vertical test (SVV) and Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) with head rotation, Modified Romberg Test Using Foam Pad (MRuFP) and Y balance test) and a history of severe dizziness that led to hospitalization (personal characteristics questionnaire-appendix no. 2) 5. Having of professional work in the field of music (check with personal characteristics questionnaire-appendix no. 2) 6. Neurological diseases (epilepsy and convulsions, headache and migraine, benign and malignant tumors in the brain) 7. History of head injury and hospitalization (personal characteristics questionnaire-appendix no. 2)
