“…The tests scores did not follow a normal distribution in this study, which is also reported by other authors [11,12,16]. For that reason norms for tests in our study are suggested to be 10th percentiles as cut-off scores to distinguish between "normal" and "abnormal" results for pattern tests and results above 90th percentile have been defined as reference scores for the GIN.…”

“…Fuente at al., whose study included 40 normal hearing Chilean adults at the age of 18 to 50 years old, established the reference range at the level of 85.5% or more of correct answers for the DPT, and 80% or more of correct answers for the FPT [11]. The results of Neijenhuis et al in the study which included 28 Dutch adults with normal hearing at the age of 18 to 47 years old, were 90% for the DPT and 89% for the FPT [12]. In the study of Neijenhuis et al [12] tones in both pattern tests were presented binaurally, while Musiek et al [13], Fuente et al [11] and authors of this research used monaural tone presentation.…”

“…Other abbreviations as in Figure 1 Other researchers have used the same boundary criteria for pattering tests (10th percentile to distinguish between "normal" and "abnormal" results) [11,12,16], however in the literature, authors define the GIN results using mean ±2 standard deviations as cut-off scores to distinguish between "normal" and "abnormal" results [7,[16][17][18].…”

“…Although there are a lot of available test batteries for English-speaking populations (e.g., the screening test for the auditory processing disorders (SCAN), the Multiple Auditory Processing Assessment (MAPA)), and a lot of work in this area has been done in non English-speaking countries [11,12], there is still a lack of auditory processing test norms in other countries, including Poland.…”

Background: Several subjects exposed to neurotoxins in the workplace need to be assessed for central auditory deficit. Although central auditory processing tests are widely used in other countries, they have not been standardized for the Polish population. The aim of the study has been to evaluate the range of reference values for 3 temporal processing tests: the duration pattern test (DPT), the frequency pattern test (FPT) and the gaps in noise test (GIN). Material and Methods: The study included 76 normal hearing individuals (38 women, 38 men) at the age of 18 to 54 years old (mean ± standard deviation: 39.4±9.1). All study participants had no history of any chronic disease and underwent a standard ENT examination. Results: The reference range for the DPT was esta blished at 55.3% or more of correct answers, while for the FPT it stood at 56.7% or more of correct answers. The mean threshold for both ears in the GIN test was defined as 6 ms. In this study there were no significant associations between the DPT, FPT and GIN results and age or gender. Symmetry between the ears in the case of the DPT, FPT and GIN was found. Conclusions: Reference ranges obtained in this study for the DPT and FPT in the Polish population are lower than reference ranges previously published for other nations while the GIN test results correspond to those published in the related literature. Further investigations are needed to explain the discrepancies between normative values in Poland and other countries and adapt tests for occupational medicine purposes. Med Pr 2015;66(2):145-152
