Abstract	Schools located near to airports are exposed to high levels of noise which can cause cognitive, health, and hearing problems. Therefore, this study sought to explore whether this noise may cause auditory language processing (ALP) problems in primary school learners. Sixty-one children attending schools exposed to high levels of noise were matched to 68 children in quieter schools. Audiological screening and ALP assessments were undertaken and revealed that the children from the noise-exposed schools scored below average in all the ALP subtests. This study suggests that airport noise may impact on children's ALP abilities. (As Provided).
