This ipsilateral competition version has sentences and competition recorded on one track (channel) at various signal-to-noise ratios (S/N). This reverse order version has the message-to-competition (MCR) mixed at +10, 0, -10, -20, +10, 0, -10, -20, 0, & 0 dB per set of 10. It is considered a monaural low-redundancy test (monaural separation closure-MSC) sensitive to low brainstem lesions. It is an auditory figure ground test.
