Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Linguistics
  • Speech Science

Background:

  • Cantonese is the primary dialect in Hong Kong.
  • Developing speech audiometry materials in Cantonese presents unique linguistic challenges.
  • Existing Cantonese speech audiometry resources are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct short, phonemically balanced word lists for Cantonese speech audiometry.
  • To address the lack of standardized assessment tools for Cantonese speakers.
  • To facilitate accurate hearing evaluations in the Hong Kong population.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study design.
  • Development of short word lists.
  • Focus on phonemic distribution and linguistic features of Cantonese (monosyllabic, tonal, homophones).

Main Results:

  • Successfully created preliminary Cantonese word lists.
  • Addressed key linguistic challenges in word list construction.
  • Established a foundation for phonemically balanced speech audiometry materials.

Conclusions:

  • The developed word lists represent a significant step towards standardized Cantonese speech audiometry.
  • Further research and validation are needed.
  • These materials can aid in more accurate hearing assessments for Cantonese speakers.
