Summary
Equivalent Mandarin speech test materials (MSTM) were developed and recorded onto CDs for clinical use. Further multi-center evaluation is recommended to confirm their widespread applicability and effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Linguistics
Background:
- Standardized speech test materials are crucial for accurate hearing assessments.
- Existing Mandarin speech test materials required refinement for clinical application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate equivalent Mandarin speech test materials (MSTM) for clinical use.
- To digitally record MSTM for multi-center analysis and broader application.
Main Methods:
- Modified existing word and sentence lists, creating trial lists.
- Digitally recorded materials onto 3 CDs adhering to international standards.
- Tested 60 normal-hearing students using monosyllabic, disyllabic, and sentence lists at sensitive presentation levels.
Main Results:
- Statistical analysis confirmed the equivalence in difficulty for specific sets of monosyllable, disyllable, and sentence lists.
- Identified the most equivalent lists for efficient clinical use when extensive testing is not required.
Conclusions:
- Developed equivalent Mandarin speech lists are now available on CD for clinical implementation.
- Multi-center evaluation is necessary to further validate these materials across diverse clinical settings.
