The relationship of speech intelligibility with hearing sensitivity, cognition, and perceived hearing difficulties varies for different speech perception tests [PDF]
Listeners vary in their ability to understand speech in noisy environments. Hearing sensitivity, as measured by pure-tone audiometry, can only partly explain these results, and cognition has emerged as another key concept.

A Case Study Assessing the Auditory and Speech Development of Four Children Implanted with Cochlear Implants by the Chronological Age of 12 Months [PDF]
Children with severe hearing loss most likely receive the greatest benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) when implanted at less than 2 years of age. Children with a hearing loss may also benefit greater from binaural sensory stimulation. Four children who

Five-choice speech discrimination test.
In order to overcome defects of dictation method, a new 5-choice method introduced into Japanese mono syllables discrimination test. A new 20-items mono syllables list was developed on the principle of equal probability of the Japanese consonant phonetics, instead of the present mono syllable frequencies among the 100 Japanese mono syllables.

Only behavioural but not self-report measures of speech perception correlate with cognitive abilities [PDF]
Good speech perception and communication skills in everyday life are crucial for participation and well-being, and are therefore an overarching aim of auditory rehabilitation.

Stability and accuracy of adaptive tests of speech discrimination [PDF]
Five experiments were conducted with normal listeners to investigate the reliability (stability) and validity (accuracy) of adaptive tests for measuring the linear portion of CNC discrimination functions. Monosyllables (consonant-vowel-consonant form) included in Northwestern University Auditory Test No. 6 were employed as test stimuli.

Investigation of Speech Discrimination Test by Computer-Aided Speech Audiometer(CASA).
竹内の開発した自動語音検査装置 (CASA) を用いた語音弁別検査の結果について検討した。 1994年度1年間に行われた検査全体の明瞭度の分布は, 正常値にピークを持つ指数分布を示した。 50から60%の明瞭度の検査における音節別誤答率の分布は19%から88%の間に広く散在していた。 過去に報告した57語表による検査の音節別誤答率との順位相関は0.62であった。 各音節の識別点の分布は明瞭度30から40%台にやや多かったが, 比較的広い範囲に散在していた。 各音節の識別力は識別点の特に高い音節や特に低い音節で高く, それ以外の音節ではそれほど高くなかった。 総じて記述的検査法として57語表と比較すると, CASAの方がより優れていると考えられた。

Speech discrimination assessment with three closed-response word tests [PDF]
Word discrimination scores for 24 sensori-neural heating-impaired subjects obtained on the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), Oklahoma University Closed-Response Test (OUCRT), and the California Consonant Test (CCT) were compared. The three word lists were recorded by a male speaker with general American English dialect.

Standard Error Measurement in Speech Discrimination Testing [PDF]
Speech discrimination data obtained by sequential testing with 12 normal-hearing listeners were described by Bode and Carhart at the 80th Meeting of the Society in Houston [J. Acoust. Soc. Amer. 49, 95(A) (1971)]. Group results showed that sequential testing provided discrimination functions essentially identical to those measured by conventional ...

Diagnostic Significance of Speech Discrimination Test for Intracranial Lesions
For evaluation of diagnostic value of speech audiometry in the battery of the auditory tests for retrocochlear deafness, various types of hearing tests were presented in 73 cases with the confirmed intracranial lesions. The speech discrimination tests were performed by using three lists of the ordinary, frequency-distorted, and interrupted words, and ...
