---

2.  What are two tests that assess dichotic listening? Masking level difference for 500Hz because it is presented to both ears, and Dichotic Digits Tests Frequency Pattern Test because information must travel from the right hemisphere to the left hemisphere, and Competing Sentence Test of the SCAN3-A Dichotic Digits Tests and Gaps-in-Noise Test Competing Words Test of the SCAN3-A and Dichotic Digits Tests

3.  What are two tests that assess temporal processing? Gaps-in-Noise Test and Masking Level Difference for 500 Hz Masking Level Difference for 500Hz and Compressed NU6 Lists with 0.3ms Reverberation Gaps-in-Noise Test and Competing Sentences of the SCAN3-A Frequency Patterns Test and Masking Level Difference for 500 Hz

4.  Which two electrophysiologic tests have shown the most promise in supporting the diagnosis of CAPD? ABR and P300 Electrocochleography and Frequency Following Response Frequency Following Response and P300 Middle Latency Response and ABR

5.  Poor performance for MLD for 500 Hz and Gaps-in-Noise is indicative of deficits in which of the following? Electrophysiologic tests Understanding monaural low redundancy speech Dichotic listening Temporal processing
