Objectives:
Many clinics are faced with the difficulty of evaluating performance in patients who speak a language for which there are no validated tests. It would be desirable to have a nonlinguistic method of evaluating these patients. Spectral ripple tests are nonlinguistic and highly correlated with speech identification performance. However, they are generally not amenable to clinical environments as they typically require the use of computers which are often not found in clinic sound booths. In this study, we evaluate the Spectral-temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) Lite for computeRless Measurement (SLRM), which is a new variant of the adaptive SMRT that can be implemented via a CD player.
Design:
SMRT and SLRM were measured for 10 normal hearing and 10 cochlear implant participants.
Results:
Performance on the two tests was highly correlated (r = 0.97).
Conclusions:
The results suggest that SLRM can be used interchangeably with SMRT but can be implemented without a computer.
