Auditory processing refers to the way in which the Central Auditory System analyzes and interprets the sounds we hear, therefore the information heard is understood by our brain. People with auditory processing disorders (APD) hear sounds, but the way the brain translates these sounds is disrupted, resulting in disorderly messages. This app is indicated for individuals with deviations in the Auditory Processing Assessment; professionals who need to stimulate their clients' auditory skills; students who have difficulty concentrating and paying attention to the teacher's explanation in the presence of other distracting stimuli in the classroom; among others. Application Advantages: - Compose activities that stimulate Auditory Processing Skills - They present different types of modules (signed separately according to the needs of each individual) - Contains more than 8 types of different stimuli within the modules - Countless possibilities for variation of difficulties - Games in all modules to level progress and the need to continue training - Unlimited number of players Include the following modules: - Alternated Dichotic - Dichotic Digits - Non-verbal Sounds - Sequential Memory - Temporal Pattern - Temporal Resolution

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Listen & Learn at none against Auditory Training's 11. Listen & Learn also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Auditory Training's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
