Abstract
Results of an online questionnaire probing audiologists' professional education and clinical practices in central auditory processing and its disorders are reported. Respondents demonstrated scant knowledge of the efficiency of central auditory tests and procedures; however, they were rather consistent in reporting more frequent use of tests and procedures they rated as more efficient. Many of the tests and procedures (including electrophysiologic measures) reported as most frequently used are among those cited in the literature as having good sensitivity and specificity. Respondents recognized the audiologist's treatment responsibilities in the areas of environmental accommodations and assistive listening devices; however, less than half of the respondents judged auditory training to fall within the audiologist's purview. Comparison with a similar study published in 1998 revealed an increase in respondents' academic preparation in (C)APD, with little change in clinical preparation, and use of a more efficient central auditory test battery.
