Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-language pathology
  • Medical acoustics

Background:

  • Assessing speech recognition in noise is crucial for hearing aid fitting and rehabilitation.
  • Existing tests may have limitations in efficiency and long-term stability.
  • A computerized adaptive test offers potential for improved accuracy and user experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term stability and repeatability of a newly developed computerized adaptive Finnish speech-in-noise test.
  • To determine the reliability of speech recognition threshold in noise (SRTN) measurements over an extended postoperative period.

Main Methods:

  • A computerized adaptive Finnish speech-in-noise test was utilized.
  • 164 stapes surgery patients' non-operated ears were assessed.
  • Measurements were taken preoperatively and at 1, 7, and 19 months postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • Short-term and long-term repeatability of the test were found to be equal.
  • The absolute intraindividual differences in SRTN measurements averaged 1.5 dB.
  • This indicates high consistency in test results over time.

Conclusions:

  • The computerized adaptive Finnish speech-in-noise test demonstrates excellent long-term stability.
  • The test provides reliable and repeatable SRTN measurements, suitable for clinical use.
  • This tool can aid in accurate hearing assessment and management for Finnish-speaking individuals.
