Development of a Danish speech intelligibility test

Development of a Danish speech intelligibility test.

A Danish speech intelligibility test for assessing the speech recognition threshold in noise (SRT(N)) has been developed. The test consists of 180 sentences distributed in 18 phonetically balanced lists. The sentences are based on an open word-set and represent everyday language. The sentences were equalized with respect to intelligibility to ensure uniform SRT(N) assessments with all lists. In...

Development of the Mandarin pediatric speech intelligibility (MPSI) test.

The objective of this research was to create a Mandarin closed-set sentence recognition test based on the English pediatric speech intelligibility (PSI) test (Jerger & Jerger, 1984 ) for evaluation of speech perception in children as young as three years of age. Developmentally normal children (N = 93), 3-6 years of age, were administered the Mandarin PSI (MPSI) via a computer-controlled protoc...

FIST: a French sentence test for speech intelligibility in noise.

A test to measure subjective and objective speech intelligibility.

Measurement of hearing aid outcome is particularly difficult because there are numerous dimensions to consider (e.g., performance, satisfaction, benefit). Often there are discrepancies between scores in these dimensions. It is difficult to reconcile these discrepancies because the materials and formats used to measure each dimension are so very different. We report data obtained with an outcome...

Speech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children

Introduction: Speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-hearing and cochlear-implanted children using the Persian intelligibility test.   Materials and Methods: Twenty-six cochlear-implanted childre...
