CAPD: An Interdisciplinary Approach – Evidence-Based Management Approaches, in partnership with Salus University

---

1.  In order for Dichotic Interaural Intensity Difference (DIID) to be effective, what must be true? The patient must have a deficit in binaural integration and/or binaural separation. Performance in the poorer ear must be at normal or near normal limits at the “crossover” level/point. Intensity of the stimulus presented to the better ear must not drop below hearing threshold. All of the above

2.  When can Dichotic Offset Training (DOT) be used? When a patient has deficits in dichotic listening. When a patient has deficits in dichotic listening. When a patient is not a good candidate for DIID training. All of the above

3.  Peer-reviewed literature has found that patients with temporal processing deficits may benefit from music and dance training/therapy. Effectiveness of music versus dance training/therapy for CAPD may depend on the underlying neurological site of involvement. If this is the case, which underlying site of involvement is likely to be best managed with music training/therapy? (Assume the patient is right-handed) Right hemisphere Left hemisphere Corpus callosum All of the above

4.  Literature states that programming of mild gain hearing aids for management of CAPD should include which of the setting(s) listed below? Minimal use of noise management features 10 dB gain added to soft level inputs Use of power domes All of the above

5.  Which type of CAPD management approach best describes Auditory Memory Enhancement (AME)? Strategy-driven (top-down) Deficit-driven (bottom-up) Device-based Accommodations
