“…The same was true for the 11-12-year-olds in the N0S180 condition. Broadly speaking, these results are in concordance with previous studies reporting adult-like performance around 10-12 years of age (e.g., Hjertman et al, 2021;Vaillancourt et al, 2008;Wilson et al, 2010). Nevertheless, not even the oldest children tested here (group 12-13) managed to achieve adult-like results in the co-located condition.…”

“…It is based on ‘child-friendly’ test lists from the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) and is carried out in stationary speech-shaped noise. Recently, a Swedish version was developed ( Hjertman et al, 2021 ). For speech and noise presented from a frontal loudspeaker, 6–11-year-old children obtained a mean speech recognition threshold (SRT) of −2.6 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and adult-like performance at 10.5 years of age.…”

Using the Danish ‘børneDAT’ corpus, the current study aimed to (1) collect normative masked speech recognition data for 6–13-year-olds in conditions with and without interaural difference cues, (2) evaluate the test–retest reliability of these measurements, and (3) compare two widely used measures of binaural/spatial benefit in terms of the obtained scores. Seventy-four children and 17 young adults with normal hearing participated. Using headphone presentation, speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) were measured twice at two separate visits in four conditions. In the first two conditions, børneDAT sentences were presented in diotic stationary speech-shaped noise, with the sentences either interaurally in-phase (‘N0S0’) or interaurally out-of-phase (‘N0S180’). In the other two conditions, børneDAT sentences were simulated to come from 0° azimuth and two running speech maskers from either 0° azimuth (‘co-located’) or ±90° azimuth (‘spatially separated’). In relative terms, the children achieved lower SRTs in stationary noise than in competing speech, whereas the adults showed the opposite pattern. 12–13-year-old children achieved adult-like performance in all but the co-located condition. Younger children showed generally immature speech recognition abilities. Test–retest reliability was highest for the SRTs in stationary noise and lowest for the spatial benefit scores. Mean benefit was comparable for the two measures and participant groups, and the two sets of scores were not correlated with each other. Developmental effects were most pronounced in the conditions with interaural difference cues. In conclusion, reference data for the børneDAT corpus obtained under different acoustic conditions are available that can guide future research and potential clinical applications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between the age of acquisition (AoA) and sentence length of sentences of the speech recognition (SR) tests for adults and children in Dutch, American English, and Canadian French. Method: The AoA and sentence length of the sentences of four SR tests for adults and children were determined. One-way analyses of variance were performed to assess differences between the tests. Results: The AoA and sentence length of the sentences significantly differed between the SR tests for adults. These differences were also found between the SR tests for children. Conclusions: The AoA and the sentence length differ across the SR tests in Dutch, American English, and Canadian French. The Dutch sentences have higher AoA and are longer than the sentences in American English and Canadian French. The effect of the linguistic complexity on sentence repetition accuracy should be investigated during the development and validation of a Dutch SR test for children.
