Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Assessing speech identification is crucial for understanding auditory processing.
  • Traditional methods can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.
  • Developing accessible tools for hearing assessment is an ongoing need.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare speech identification abilities using traditional methods and the Portable Automated Rapid Testing (PART) iPad app.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of the PART app in assessing spatial hearing.
  • To determine the correlation between PART app results and conventional audiometric measures.

Main Methods:

  • Speech identification thresholds were measured using Coordinate Response Measure sentences.
  • Three presentation methods were employed: headphones with a virtual speaker array, the PART iPad app, and a loudspeaker array.
  • A progressive tracking procedure estimated thresholds for listeners with varying hearing abilities under different spatial separation conditions.

Main Results:

  • Speech identification thresholds were comparable between the PART iPad app and headphone conditions.
  • Slightly poorer thresholds were observed with the loudspeaker array across participant groups.
  • These findings held true for all tested spatial separations between target and masker sounds.

Conclusions:

  • The PART iPad app demonstrates strong correlation with headphone-based testing for spatial processing assessment.
  • The PART app's spatial release from masking module is a viable clinical tool.
  • The app can assist in pre-audiological evaluations and track progress in aural rehabilitation programs.
