The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 in the rear of a small office occupied by Holly-Vermont Realty in Los Angeles. It was there that Walt Disney, and his brother Roy, produced a series of short live-action/animated films collectively called the ALICE COMEDIES. The rent was a mere $10 a month. Within four months, the ever-growing staff moved next door to larger facilities, where the sign on the window read Disney Bros.
Introduction. Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a hearing or listening problem caused by the brain not processing sounds in the normal way. It can affect your ability to: 1  pinpoint where a sound is coming from. 2  tell which sound comes before another. 3  distinguish similar sounds from one another â such as seventy and seventeen.
This results in a temporary shift of the auditory threshold known as a temporary threshold shift (TTS). The damage can become permanent (permanent threshold shift, PTS) if sufficient recovery time is not allowed for before continued sound exposure. When the hearing loss is rooted from a traumatic occurrence, it may be classified as noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL. There are two main types of auditory fatigue, short-term and long-term.
