Summary

Most audiologists report insufficient training in central auditory assessment, with many not providing these services. Current practices show a shift towards physiologic measures in central auditory testing.

Three Commonly Asked Questions About Central Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment.

American journal of audiology·2015

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

  • Professional preparation in central auditory assessment varies among audiologists.
  • Current practices in central auditory assessment have evolved, with a notable shift towards physiologic measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the professional preparation and current practices of audiologists in central auditory assessment.
  • To identify gaps in graduate education and clinical training related to central auditory processing disorders.

Main Methods:

  • A 17-item questionnaire was distributed to 500 randomly selected audiologists from the American Academy of Audiology.
  • Data from 183 respondents (37% response rate) were analyzed to assess academic preparation, clinical experience, and assessment practices.

Main Results:

  • The majority of respondents reported minimal academic and clinical preparation in central auditory nervous system assessment.
  • Only 41% of audiologists reported providing central auditory assessment, with low satisfaction regarding graduate education in this area.
  • Physiologic measures, including acoustic reflex and auditory brainstem response, are now frequently used alongside the SCAN test.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant need to enhance professional preparation and graduate education in the evaluation of central auditory function.
  • Current training may not adequately equip audiologists to meet the demands of central auditory assessment.
  • The evolving landscape of central auditory testing necessitates updated curricula and training programs.
