Introduction: Central auditory processing disorders (APD) in a neuropsychological context refer to difficulties in recognizing, interpreting, and processing sound information by the brain. They can manifest as difficulties in speech comprehension, sound localization, sound memory, or difficulties in sound analysis. Aim: To present the impact of using FM systems on phonemic awareness in children with APD. Materials and methods: The 120 patients (aged 8 to 9 years) were divided into equal 30-member randomized groups, with half of them being boys and the other half being girls. In Group I, an FM system was administered to both ears; in Group II – to the right ear; in Group III – to the left ear; and in Group IV (control group) the FM system was not implemented. Results: In each of the studied groups where FM systems were utilized, an improvement in phonemic hearing was noted after two weeks of using the FM system. After 12–13 months, the group of patients wearing the FM system unilaterally on the right ear achieved the greatest improvement in perceiving phonemic oppositions. Discussion: The use of FM systems in school settings enhances a child’s functioning in the classroom, allowing for better understanding and processing of information presented during lessons. It may not be necessary to use two FM receivers to benefit from improvements in auditory memory performance. Conclusions: The incorporation of FM systems along with other elements of comprehensive therapies that patients with APD should receive offers hope for effective rehabilitation for children with APD, enabling them to no longer be unjustly perceived as less capable, inattentive, distracted, or lazy.
