Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Psychoacoustics

Background:

  • Assessing speech understanding in noise is crucial for audiological diagnosis.
  • The Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal test (LiSN-U) is a tool designed to evaluate auditory spatial perception.
  • Understanding the test-retest reliability of the LiSN-U is essential for its clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal test (LiSN-U).
  • To determine if the LiSN-U provides consistent results when administered to the same individuals on separate occasions.

Main Methods:

  • A test-retest reliability study design was employed.
  • Participants (23 adults, 109 children) completed the LiSN-U on two separate occasions, 4–8 weeks apart.
  • Statistical analyses included ANOVA and correlation to assess score consistency.

Main Results:

  • Significant average score improvements were observed on retest for spatially-separated and co-located conditions, but not for the spatial advantage.
  • Critical difference scores varied between adults and children for different conditions.
  • Correlation analyses showed significant relationships between test and retest scores for all conditions (r=0.37–0.63, p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The LiSN-U exhibits test-retest reliability comparable to established clinical audiological tests.
  • The findings support the potential use of the LiSN-U for speakers of any language in clinical settings.
  • The test's reliability indicates its suitability for repeated assessments in audiological evaluations.
