New Mandarin Speech Perception (MSP) sentence tests were developed for cochlear implant (CI) users. These validated materials show promise for assessing speech understanding in Mandarin-speaking CI listeners.

Area of Science:

Audiology
Speech-Language Pathology
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Standardized speech testing materials are limited for Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant (CI) users.
Accurate speech perception assessment is crucial for evaluating CI efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate Mandarin Speech Perception (MSP) sentence test materials.
To ensure the materials are phonetically balanced and representative of Mandarin Chinese.
To assess the utility of these materials for Mandarin-speaking CI listeners.

Main Methods:

Developed Mandarin sentence lists with balanced distribution of vowels, consonants, and tones.
Validated materials using acoustic simulations of CI processing in normal-hearing subjects.

Analyzed sentence recognition performance across different MSP lists.

Main Results:

The developed MSP sentence lists exhibited phonetic distributions similar to common Chinese characters.
No significant differences in sentence recognition were found across the MSP lists.
Validation with spectrally degraded speech confirmed the test materials' robustness.

Conclusions:

The developed MSP sentence test materials are phonetically balanced and validated.
These materials may serve as a valuable tool for assessing speech performance in Mandarin-speaking CI listeners.
This research addresses a critical need for standardized speech testing in this population.
