Summary

This study developed Malay speech audiometry materials, establishing a normal hearing curve. The Malay curve is sigmoidal, similar to English and Arabic, aiding auditory system assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Speech audiometry assesses auditory function using speech stimuli.
  • Standardized materials are crucial for accurate hearing assessments.
  • Malay language materials were previously lacking for speech audiometry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate phonemically balanced Malay bisyllabic words for speech audiometry.
  • To establish a normative speech audiometry curve for the Malay language.
  • To compare the Malay speech audiometry curve with established curves in other languages.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled a list of common bisyllabic Malay words (consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel) from the Dewan Bahasa dictionary.
  • Selected and grouped 250 words into 25 sets of 10 words each.
  • Recorded the word lists by a professional newscaster in a soundproof studio and tested 60 normal-hearing subjects.

Main Results:

  • A normal Malay speech audiometry curve was successfully obtained.
  • The curve exhibited a sigmoidal shape, consistent with established audiometric principles.
  • Optimal speech discrimination occurred at 40 dB, with a half-peak level at 17.5 dB.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Malay speech audiometry material provides a reliable tool for auditory assessment in Malay speakers.
  • The normative Malay speech audiometry curve is comparable to those of English and Arabic.
  • This standardization facilitates accurate diagnosis and management of hearing impairments in the Malay-speaking population.
