Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

New Mandarin disyllable recognition test (DRT) materials were developed and validated for hearing-impaired (HI) and cochlear implant (CI) users. These phonetically balanced lists aid in assessing speech performance for Mandarin speakers.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech Science
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Assessing speech performance in Mandarin-speaking hearing-impaired (HI) and cochlear implant (CI) users requires standardized tests.
  • Existing tests may not fully capture the nuances of Mandarin speech perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop standardized Mandarin disyllable recognition test (DRT) materials.
  • To evaluate the speech performance of Mandarin-speaking HI and CI patients.
  • To establish comprehensive Mandarin speech perception tests including disyllables and sentences.

Main Methods:

  • Developed ten phonetically balanced Mandarin DRT lists.
  • Validated materials with normal-hearing (NH) subjects using unprocessed and simulated CI speech (4-channel vocoded).
  • Compared DRT performance with previously developed Mandarin sentence materials.

Main Results:

  • DRT lists demonstrated balanced distribution of vowels, consonants, and tones.
  • No significant differences in disyllable recognition were found across lists for both speech conditions.
  • A significant correlation was observed between disyllable and sentence recognition performance.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Mandarin DRT materials are suitable for assessing speech performance in Mandarin-speaking CI users.
  • These materials, combined with sentence tests, can contribute to standardized speech perception assessments for Mandarin-speaking HI and CI patients.
