“…They are also comparable to discrimination scores of normal adults on NU-6 lists (Larson, Petersen and Jacquot, 1974;Beattie, Edgerton and Svihovec, 1977) . No significant response differences were observed between experimental and control groups exposed to time altered speech.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Qentral auditory processing of children who had sustained chronic middle ear problems during their early language-learning years. A 60% compressed recording of the NU-6 speech discrimination word lists was administered to twenty eight and nine year old normal hearing public school children, reported by their parents to have qad repeated middle ear problems during their early years, and to twenty control subjects matched for age from the same public schopl classes. · Differences in compressed and uncompressed word discrimination scores between the experimental and control groups were not found to be statistically significant. These results indicate that the experimental subjects' ability to process compressed speech was not impaired by early middle ear difficulties. The alternative was suggested that if these children actually sustained central damage due to distorted or degraded input during their hearing deficit episodes, then such effects may be neutralized by subsequent auditory exerience and neurological maturity. A significant difference for both groups of children was noted between scores obtained with NU-6 lists 2A and 3A at 60% compression. While apparently equivalent in the uncompressed form, list 3 was found to ~e significantly ~ore difficult than list 2 when compressed. Implications for further research are discussed.

“…Beattie et al (1977) reported a mean slope of 4.2 %/dB for the NU-6 word lists and a mean slope of 4.6 %/dB for the CID W-22 word lists. A more recent study found that the recordings from the Auditec of St. Louis CD, NU-6 and CID W-22 word lists had means of 4.4 %/dB and 4.8 %/dB, respectively (Wilson & Oyler, 1997).…”

The purpose of this study was to develop, digitally record, evaluate, and psychometrically equate a set of Mandarin bisyllabic word lists for use in measurement of speech discrimination. Familiar bisyllabic words were digitally recorded by male and female talkers of Standard Mandarin. Percentage of correct word recognition was measured for each word at ten intensity levels ( -5 to 40 dB HL) in 5 dB increments using 20 normally hearing subjects. Using logistic regression, 200 words with the steepest logistic regression slopes were included in four psychometrically equivalent word lists of 50 words each, and eight half-lists of 25 words each. To increase auditory homogeneity of the lists, the intensity of words in each list was digitally adjusted so that the threshold of each list was equal to the midpoint between the mean thresholds of the male and female half-lists. Digital recordings of the psychometrically equivalent word recognition lists are available on compact disc.

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to develop a Turkish-specific speech recognition test, considering phonemic balance, homogeneity, and familiarity criteria. MATERIALS and METHODS:The most frequently used Turkish monosyllabic words were selected from the corpus. Thirty-six young adults with normal hearing were divided into two groups and asked to listen to words from the word pool; the words were given twice at six different intensity levels. The least and most frequently known words were identified and eliminated in order to provide homogeneity. Three word lists, each composed of 50 phonemically balanced words, were developed to be used in the tests. These lists were divided into two according to the phonemic balance criteria. RESULTS:No statistically significant difference was found among the word lists. Furthermore, the internal reliability of each list was analyzed using KR-20 and was found to be above 98% for all lists. CONCLUSION:The lists derived from the Turkish language were ascertained to be appropriate for use. As a result of using the developed lists to test individuals with various auditory pathologies, it will be possible to assess the lists' capability to distinguish pathological cases according to the location of the pathology.
