A new French audiological test battery (BAC) assesses central auditory processing using four psycho-acoustic tests. Normative data from 668 participants establish its utility for evaluating auditory function across age groups.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

  • The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) provides guidelines for understanding central auditory processing.
  • Assessing central auditory processing requires a comprehensive approach, often involving multiple tests.
  • A French-language battery was needed to evaluate central auditory processing in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the Bilan Auditif Central (BAC), a novel battery of psycho-acoustic tests.
  • To establish normative data for the BAC in a French-speaking population.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the BAC in assessing central auditory processing across different age groups.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Bilan Auditif Central (BAC), comprising speech-in-noise, dichotic, temporal processing, and binaural interaction tests.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Collected data from 668 participants aged 5 to 85+ years with normal hearing and intelligence.
  • Analyzed test scores using descriptive statistics, examining distributions and age-related effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Scores for speech-in-noise, dichotic, and binaural interaction tests followed a normal distribution.
    • Temporal processing test scores did not conform to a normal distribution.
    • Significant effects of maturation and involution were observed across all test types, indicating age-related changes in central auditory processing.

    Conclusions:

    • The low correlation between the four tests underscores the necessity of using a battery for comprehensive central auditory processing assessment.
    • The established normative data provide a standard for the French-speaking population.
    • The BAC is a valuable tool for evaluating central auditory processing abilities.
