Summary:A battery of tests for central auditory processing assessment has been designed in French. This battery, BAC for Bilan Auditif Central (central auditory processing), consists of'fbur tyvpes of tests: A speech-in-noise test, a dichotic test, a temporal processing test and a binaural interaction test. Descriptive statistics were computed on data obtained from 668 subjects ranging from 5 to 85 years old. Tests scores of the speech-in-noise test, the dichotic test and the binaural interaction test showed a normal distribution. Test scores of the temporal processing demonstrates a ceiling effect. Effcts of maturation and involution were clearly visible for all tests. The low correlation between scores obtained from the four tests pointed to the need for a battery ofseveral tests to assess central auditory processing.
