You are going to hear two words at the same time. Repeat back only the word you hear in your left ear. This instruction is given for this type of listening test.
What is a dichotic listening test?

Before we start testing we need more information. This will give us a general idea of the reason for testing and information that may help with our diagnosis.
What is the case history?

This type of device helps all students in a classroom "hear" the teacher better and improves the S/N ratio overall.
What is a sound field amplification system (or CADS- Classroom auditory distribution system)?
200
Deficits on left competing conditions on dichotic tasks coupled with difficulty verbalizing tonal patterns and normal humming or verbal patterns.
What is an Integration Deficit?
200
The auditory regions of the brain are predominantly located in this lobe of the brain.
What is the temporal lobe?
200
You will hear three tones in a pattern. Tell me the pattern using the words 'high' or 'low' for each of the three tones. This is an example of which task.
What is the Frequency Pitch Pattern Test?
200
Differential diagnostic testing typically begins at this age.
What is 7years old?
200
Classroom curriculums and requirements have been altered as part of an intervention program.
What is a modification?
300
A reading disorder commonly associated with Auditory Processing difficulties.
What is Dyslexia?
300
The primary role of this is to break down the incoming acoustic signal into its components and to relay accurately all information to the CANS for further processing.
What is the Auditory Nerve?
300
You will hear words that have been broken up into pieces. Blend the sounds and tell me the whole word.
What is the Phonemic Synthesis Test?
300
The first reference to Audiology as a related service in special education was put into legislation within this Act of 1975.
What is The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975?
300
The ability to recognize and use properties of language, allowing an individual to think about language and analyze language in a critical manner
What are metalinguistic strategies or language awareness?
400
When tests of auditory closure, auditory figure ground and auditory phonological recognition are abnormal it suggests this auditory processing Profile.
What is an Auditory Decoding Deficit?
400
This region is typically known as the first level of the central auditory pathways for the actual processing of auditory signals.
What is the Cochlear Nucleus?
400
You are going to one word at a time in one ear at a time, but they will sound a bit 'muffled'. Tell me the word each time.
What is the filtered words test?
400
Before completing a (Central) Auditory Processing Evaluation it is helpful to get information from teachers and parents using these.
What are auditory questionnaires?
400
The role of classroom and personal amplification systems is to address these three potentially negative influences on speech in the classroom setting.
What are Noise, Distance from the speaker, and Reverberation?
500
Individuals who have trouble detecting and using temporal cues related to speech and language may have this type of auditory Profile deficit.
What is a Prosodic Deficit?
500
When site of lesion testing is the goal of auditory processing testing, a left-ear suppression on a dichotic task is consistent with a potential pathology in this region of the brain.
What is the right temporal lobe?
500
You will hear either one or two beeps each time. Listen and tell me after each how many you think you hear.
What is the gap detection test (or Random Gap Detection Test)?
500
When academic difficulties are experienced by a student and auditory problems are suspected, it is helpful to begin with this before referring for a differential diagnostic auditory processing evaluation.
What is a screening?
