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.
本文报告了一项在线问卷调查的结果，该调查探究了听力学家在中枢听觉处理及其障碍方面的专业教育和临床实践。受访者对中枢听觉测试和程序的有效性了解甚少；然而，他们在报告中相当一致地表示，更频繁地使用他们认为更有效的测试和程序。许多被报告为最常用的测试和程序（包括电生理测量）是文献中提到的具有良好敏感性和特异性的测试和程序。受访者认识到听力学家在环境适应和辅助听力设备领域的治疗责任；然而，不到一半的受访者认为听觉训练属于听力学家的职责范围。与1998年发表的一项类似研究相比，受访者在中枢听觉处理障碍（CAPD）方面的学术准备有所增加，临床准备变化不大，并且使用了更有效的中枢听觉测试组合。
