Competing Sentences©

~ auditecinfo ~ 7 Comments

The Competing Sentences© is popular with both psychologists and audiologists. It is an auditory processing disorder test and is considered a dichotic sentence test for binaural separation sensitive to neuromaturation and language processing. It uses verbal stimuli and is appropriate for ages 5 and older. It consists of 30 pairs of sentences with similar subject matter within each sentence pair. These sentences were recorded so that each pair begins and ends simultaneously. Administration time is approximately 7 minutes.

Competing Sentences© includes: a) audio recording, and b) instructions and sentence list. The two-page instructions encompass format, procedure, and interpretation. Normative data for ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. At age 10, normal scores are 100% in both ears so it can be assumed that normal patients over age 10 would achieve similar results.

Spondee Binaural Fusion©

~ auditecinfo ~ 2 Comments

The Spondee Binaural Fusion© is an auditory processing disorder test for both children and adults using verbal stimuli. It is considered a binaural interaction test. It consists of selected child spondee words which have been band-pass filtered in two frequency bands: one for one channel (ear) and the other for the second channel. The low band extends from 500 to 700 Hz, the high band from 1.9 kHz to 2.1 kHz. The recording begins with pulsed speech spectrum noise, passed through the same filters for the purpose of establishing thresholds for those particular frequency bands. These thresholds are to be used to establish the proper presentation levels. Administration time is approximately four minutes.

The Spondee Binaural Fusion© includes: a) audio recording, and b) instructions and word list. The one-page instructions include administration, scoring, and interpretation information. Normative data is included, but it is not age-specific.

Gaps In Noise (GIN)©

~ auditecinfo ~ 4 Comments

The Gaps In Noise (GIN)© test is an auditory processing disorder test for ages 7 and older using non-verbal stimuli. It is designed to measure temporal resolution.  Temporal resolution refers to the ability to detect changes either in the duration of an auditory stimulus and/or the time intervals or gaps of silence embedded within an auditory stimulus.  The ability to detect small silent intervals is an important factor in speech perception. This GIN test is a  valuable test for the evaluation of this ability.

The GIN test is composed of a series or lists of noise bursts which contain various intervals of silence.  The recording consists of four forms called lists plus a shorter practice list to ensure the patient understands the task.  The silent intervals vary from 0 (i.e. no gap) to 20 msec.  The gaps, or periods of silence, are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 or 20 msec.  There are a total of 60 randomized gaps (6 of each gap) in each list (series). Administration time is approximately 35 minutes. To facilitate accurate scoring the recording is two channels, one being the test track, the other, for the examiner, indicates with a brief tone when the gap occurs in the other (test) track.

The Gaps In Noise (GIN)© includes a) audio recording, and b) instructions and score forms as printable pdf files. The three-page instructions include information on administration, scoring, and interpretation. Normative data is included for ages 8 and up. ©COPYRIGHT NOTICE: Auditec’s materials are protected by copyright. Each product represents one license for up to two audiometers at one location. Sharing, uploading to servers, publishing to the internet, and all other forms of distribution are prohibited.

Dichotic Word Listening Test©

~ auditecinfo ~ 8 Comments

The Dichotic Word Listening Test© (DWLT) is popular with audiologists and psychologists. It is often considered an auditory processing disorder test. It was developed specifically to demonstrate relative unilateral extinction or suppressions in neurologic patients with focal electrophysiological lesions, neuropsychiatric patients whose symptoms are presumed to be associated with underlying electrophysiological dysfunction and patients with so-called “subclinical” EEG abnormalities following closed head injury. Since observations indicate that multiple neuropathological processes impair dichotic listening performance, the DWLT may prove relevant to investigation of brainstem disorders, subcortical lesions, etc.

The DWLT stimuli are common words varying in length from one to three syllables.  The test is in two equivalent parts with 10 practice items and 30 test items in each part.

The Dichotic Word Listening Test© includes a) audio recording, b) instructions and score forms as printable pdf files. The five-page instructions consist of background, administration, scoring, and interpretation. The instructions include grade-specific normative data for kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, and sixth grades as well as adults.

Santiago APD Battery©

~ auditecinfo ~ 7 Comments

The Santiago APD Battery© includes the following Spanish language tests:

  • Spanish Dichotic Digits
  • Spanish Filtered Speech
  • Spanish Binaural Fusion
  • Spanish Speech in Noise (at +10 dB and 0 dB signal-to-noise ratios)

The Santiago APD Battery© (SAPD) is a set of four tests that assess (central) auditory processing (AP) in native Spanish-speaking adults. SAPD was developed by Adrian Fuente, Ph.D. of the Audiology Lab School of Speech and Hearing Sciences Medical Faculty, University of Chile. Since auditory processing includes various auditory abilities, different tests should be carried out to assess AP.  Some of these tests utilize verbal stimuli while others do not. For those auditory abilities that require verbal material to be assessed, e.g., dichotic listening, auditory performance in competing acoustic signals and auditory performance with degraded acoustic materials, tests with verbal stimuli in the language of the patient must be used. The SAPD battery was created because of this need. The aim of these tests is to assess some of the aspects of AP in Spanish-speaking adult patients suspected to have APD and/or with hearing complaints other than those associated with reduced hearing thresholds.

Each of the tests aims to assess different aspects of central auditory processing.

  • Speech-in-noise requires recognition of monosyllable in the presence of white noise, according to ASHA (1996) it fits the low redundancy monaural speech category.
  • Filtered Speech requires recognition of monosyllables that have been low pass filtered, a low redundancy category.
  • Binaural fusion requires recognition of monosyllables whose low frequency spectrum is presented to one ear and high frequency spectrum simultaneously to the other ear, this test is in the binaural interaction category.
  • Dichotic digits requires the patient to repeat two pairs of digits which are presented simultaneously to both ears, it is in the dichotic speech category.

Auditec recommends buying the Santiago APD Battery© as a full set. However, Auditec sells the tests individually as well for those with budget restraints.  Normative data was derived from a population of native Spanish speaking persons living in Chile.  As in any language, there are differences in dialect and one needs to verify these data on the local population.

The Santiago APD Battery© includes a) audio recording, and b) manual and score forms as printable pdf files on CDRom. The extensive manual is provided in both Spanish and English. It includes administration, scoring, and interpretation information. Normative data is included for adults only. It can be assumed children over the age of 12 will do as well (or nearly as well) as adults.
