Dr Angela Loucks Alexander, Audiologist, has spent fifteen years in diagnosing and treating Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), a hearing difficulty with less to do with the ears and more with the brain. Despite significantly affecting potential and well-being, many affected are unaware of the condition, let alone their treatment options. Angela is only the third Audiologist ever to give a TEDx talk and has given the first to speak on Auditory Processing Disorder. Her talk "Escaping the Hidden Prison of Auditory Processing Disorder" was the most watched TEDx worldwide in September 2021 and has had more than a million views since it was published. She is the host of the Between Two Ears podcast and founder of Auditory Processing Institute, where she trains audiologists and speech-language pathologists to provide APD services. She has also created an online, searchable map to help clients find the help they need at ww.APDsupport.com.
