This is concerning a patient who is suffering from dyslexia.

I have translated this for the moment as 'hearing selectivity of perception' which is just a literal translation.

auditory discrimination
Explanation:
Auditory discrimination is a central auditory processing skill that involves the ability to differentiate among phonemes—the smallest significant units of sound in a language.

I'd be cautious about using "selectivity" in this context as "perceptual selectivity" can be understood as referring to what we choose to tune into rather than what we are able to discriminate, so there's a subtle difference between the two.

precision of auditory discrimination


Explanation:
I agree with Armorel that 'selectivity' is inappropriate here but that still doesn't mean we can gloss over the Trennschärfe part
