PRACTICE LISTS
Tracks 21-23 contain Practice Lists A-C. They can be used to familiarize the patient with the test protocol or to determine the “loud but OK” presentation level for persons with hearing loss of 50 dB HL and greater. These lists are NOT equivalent to lists 1-12 or list pairs, and do not reliably predict SNR Loss.
