Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) affects 0.5-7% of the pediatric population. This disorder is responsible for a child's low hearing ability. The diagnosis of APD is difficult because of polymorphic symptoms possibly entangled with other difficulties (learning, communication, attention ...). There is currently no gold standard in the literature for diagnosing APD. Investigators opened multidisciplinary consultation for the children suspected of APD. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of the multidisciplinary assessment performed on these children (audiometry, cortical auditory brainstem response (ABR), behavioral assessment, psychometric evaluation, genetic analysis) to the results of functional MRI (fMRI) at rest and in activation. The goal is to find radiological MRI-fMRI markers in these patients that improve the diagnosis of APD.

Investigators will compare the f-MRI results between three groups of children in order to find specific radiological markers of APD :

* group 1 : children diagnosed with an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
* group 2 : children suspect of APD
* group 3 : children without APD (controls)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will include a multidisciplinary consultation with:

* Targeted behavioral assessment auditory processing disorder (APD): speech-in-noise perception, phonemic identification and discrimination, dichotic listening test, temporal processing tests, Random Gap Detection Threshold (RGDT) test.
* Psychometric assessment: assessment of visual / auditory working memory, visual / auditory attention, study of cognitive functions.
* Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) examination with otoscopy, tonal and vocal audiometry and ABR recording.
* Genetic analysis
* Cortical auditory evoked potential (AEP) recording, compared with the automatized cortical AEP recording on Hear Lab machine.

The purpose of the study is looking for objective biomarkers of APD:

* Compare EEG results with MRI-fMRI results
* Analyze the cortical maturation of children who are fitted with hearings aids: second record of cortical APD performed one year after the fitting.
* Compare the results after one year between group 1 ( with or without hearing aids) and children from group 2.
* MRI-fMRI : to analyze the flow of perfusion, the DTI sequences, and the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) effect (fMRI)

With this multidisciplinary evaluation, the investigators wish to improve the diagnosis of APD in suspected children by associating clinical, radiological, electro-physiological and genetic criteria.

Better understanding and more accurate diagnosis of APD's will improve the care management of these children.
