In this episode, Priscilla sits down with Associate Professor Wayne Wilson from the University of Queensland. A leading expert in paediatric auditory processing, Dr. Wilson shares his journey through the evolving landscape of audiology and the complex challenge of defining auditory processing disorder (APD).Together, we explore the growing pains of audiology as a still-maturing profession, and what it means to cultivate true clinical competence in a field with many grey areas. From regulatory frameworks to real-world clinical reasoning, Dr. Wilson offers insight into how audiologists can forge their own diagnostic pathways—grounded in research, experience, and reflective practice.Whether you're a seasoned clinician or an early-career audiologist, this conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about how you assess, define, and manage APD in the everyday clinical environment.
