Multiple auditory processing assessment (MAPA) tests were performed.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results</strong>: A total of 5.57% of girls and 10.63% of boys were suspected to APD. The APD prevalence was 7.93%. The male-to-female ratio was 1.9 times.<br> <strong>Discussion</strong>: The prevalence reported in this study is consistent with global values.
