“…The aim here was to ensure that the person being tested starts the test successfully, and also to obtain more precise information by using 3 dB steps (smaller steps were discarded because of their impact on the time taken to carry out the test, with consequently greater effort and fatigue by the person being tested). These aspects are considered essential because they allow the improvement of the selection and fitting of the hearing aids based on its advanced features to improve SNR, such as directionality and digital noise reduction [ 25 , 27 , 28 , 71 ]. Prospective studies of this test will be necessary to assess the speech discrimination loss as the SNR decreases for different age groups in the normal hearing people.…”

“…On the one hand, these tests favour the selection and fitting of hearing aids, providing realistic expectations in terms of their use [ 6 ]. On the other hand, they allow for an assessment of the need to add aural rehabilitation to the fitting of hearing aids [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. These tests are also helpful in the post-fitting phases when the effectiveness of hearing aids is assessed and validated [ 29 ], as well as in assessing the usefulness of hearing assistive technology such as remote microphones [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Design and Development of a Spanish Hearing Test for Speech in Noise (PAHRE)

Background: There are few hearing tests in Spanish that assess speech discrimination in noise in the adult population that take into account the Lombard effect. This study presents the design and development of a Spanish hearing test for speech in noise (Prueba Auditiva de Habla en Ruido en Español (PAHRE) in Spanish). The pattern of the Quick Speech in Noise test was followed when drafting sentences with five key words each grouped in lists of six sentences. It was necessary to take into account the differences between English and Spanish. Methods: A total of 61 people (24 men and 37 women) with an average age of 46.9 (range 18–84 years) participated in the study. The work was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, a list of Spanish sentences was drafted and subjected to a familiarity test based on the semantic and syntactic characteristics of the sentences; as a result, a list of sentences was selected for the final test. In the second phase, the selected sentences were recorded with and without the Lombard effect, the equivalence between both lists was analysed, and the test was applied to a first reference population. Results: The results obtained allow us to affirm that it is representative of the Spanish spoken in its variety in peninsular Spain. Conclusions: In addition, these results point to the usefulness of the PAHRE test in assessing speech in noise by maintaining a fixed speech intensity while varying the intensity of the multi-speaker background noise. The incorporation of the Lombard effect in the test shows discrimination differences with the same signal-to-noise ratio compared to the test without the Lombard effect.

El objetivo de la investigación fue describir las experiencias socio-comunicativas en los adultos mayores usuarios de audífonos. La metodología fue cuantitativa, de tipo descriptivo, el cual contó con la participación de 20 adultos mayores, aplicando encuestas a los participantes. Se realizó revisión documental de los temas de interés, como marco de referencia y/o sustento teórico. Los resultados muestran que el 65% de la población, reporta que la experiencia con los audífonos ha sido buena o excelente. La gran mayoría de los adultos mayores presentó hipoacusia de grado moderado-severo. Se analizan los resultados teniendo en cuenta indicadores como: actividades y participación, utilización de dispositivos y técnicas de comunicación, relaciones interpersonales básicas, actividades recreativas y de ocio, actividades culturales (iglesia y grupos de apoyo).
