“…Several Mandarin word test materials have been recently developed, with most using monosyllable words (Han et al, 2009; Ji et al, 2011; Tsai et al, 2009). For example, Han et al (2009) developed Mandarin monosyllabic speech test materials (MSTMs) for speech audiometry.…”

Objectives Speech materials validated with normal-hearing listeners may not be appropriate for clinical assessment of cochlear implant (CI) users. The aim of this study was to validate list equivalency of the Mandarin Speech Perception (MSP) sentences, disyllables, and monosyllables in Mandarin-speaking CI patients. Design Recognition of MSP sentences, disyllables, and monosyllables each were measured for all 10 lists. Study sample 67 adult and 32 pediatric Mandarin-speaking CI users. Results There was no significant difference between adult and pediatric subject groups for all test materials. Significant differences were observed among lists within each test. After removing one or two lists within each test, no significant differences were observed among the remaining lists. While there was equal variance among lists within a given test, the variance was larger for children than for adults, and increased from monosyllables to disyllables to sentences. Conclusions Some adjustment to test lists previously validated with CI simulations was needed to create perceptually equivalent lists for real CI users, suggesting that test materials should be validated in the targeted population. Differences in mean scores and variance across test materials suggest that CI users may differ in their ability to make use of contextual cues available in sentences and disyllables.

“…High reliability and validity are required when a psychophysical test method or system is applied in clinical practice (Ji et al, 2011;Gilbert et al, 2013). In this study, the hearing thresholds determined by the standard test and the self-test were compared in three independent experiments in normal-hearing participants and patients with SNHL, and their concordance was analyzed with the standard test as the gold standard.…”

“…Speech discrimination testing was performed in a sound‐field open‐set condition using Mandarin test materials developed by Ji et al 11,12 Each test included 25 monosyllable words and 40 spondee words, with a sound intensity of 75 dB sound pressure level. The subject was seated at a distance of 1 m from the tester.…”

Objectives To evaluate the safety and feasibility of cochlear implantation (CI) in irradiated ears of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Study Design A retrospective study. Methods From 2008 to 2017, 10 adults with binaural severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss subsequent to radiotherapy for NPC underwent CI in our center. The mean follow‐up was 63.2 months. Hearing and speech performance were evaluated pre‐ and postoperatively with audiometric and speech discrimination testing, Category of Auditory Performance, Speech Intelligibility Rating, and Chinese version of Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire. Results According to the severity of radioactive osteomyelitis of temporal bone, patients were classified into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe. Patients in mild category underwent routine CI. Patients in moderate category underwent extended radical mastoidectomy and CI simultaneously. Patients in severe category underwent subtotal temporal bone resection, external auditory canal elimination, and CI simultaneously or by stage. There was no massive hemorrhage, facial paralysis, or nonunion of incision after operation. One suffered from radiation encephalopathy 13 months postoperatively; since then, the cochlear implant has been idle. The other nine patients demonstrated encouraging results of hearing and speech performance. Conclusion CI for postirradiated ears of NPC is safe and feasible. Strict control of operative indications and extra care during surgery are required. Individual surgical plan should be made according to the severity of radioactive osteomyelitis. Choose one‐stage surgery as much as possible in severe cases to avoid the risk of difficulty in locating round window in second‐stage surgery. Level of Evidence 4 Laryngoscope, 131:649–655, 2021
