    This study identified 15 spondee words that accurately measure hearing thresholds without prior word familiarization. These words provide results equivalent to longer familiarization methods, improving audiological testing efficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Familiarization with spondee words is a standard procedure in audiology to establish hearing thresholds.
    • This process can be time-consuming and may introduce variability in test results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To select a subset of spondee words from the CID W-1 list that do not require familiarization.
    • To ensure these selected words yield spondee thresholds comparable to those obtained with familiarization.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-eight participants with normal hearing evaluated familiarized and unfamiliarized spondee words.
    • Spondee words were selected based on high correct identification rates without familiarization and minimal change after familiarization.
    • A final list of 15 words was chosen after excluding those outside a 4-dB range.

    Main Results:

    • Seventeen words initially met the selection criteria.
    • Two words were excluded, leaving a final list of 15 spondee words.
    • This 15-word list produced equivalent spondee thresholds compared to the full CID W-1 list with familiarization in 20 participants.

    Conclusions:

    • A shorter list of 15 spondee words can effectively and efficiently determine hearing thresholds without familiarization.
    • This optimized list offers a more streamlined approach to audiological assessments, maintaining accuracy.
