    Summary

    The SISI test is reliable for audiology when understood and applied correctly. This study found no reason to disqualify the SISI test, showing better results than previously reported.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Hearing Science

    Context:

    • The Subjective Interaural Sensitivity Index (SISI) test's reliability is questioned due to misunderstandings of its diagnostic capabilities and optimal placement within audiological test batteries.
    • Previous research has presented varying results for the SISI test, leading to uncertainty about its clinical utility.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the reliability and diagnostic value of the SISI test in individuals with normal hearing.
    • To address the doubts surrounding the SISI test by examining its performance under specific testing conditions.

    Summary:

    • Normal hearing medical students were examined using the SISI test, yielding significantly better results compared to previously published data.
    • Key differences in test intensity and frequency were identified, suggesting these parameters influence SISI test outcomes.
    • The findings indicate that the SISI test is a valid audiological tool and should not be disqualified.

    Impact:

    • This research clarifies the appropriate application of the SISI test in audiological assessments.
    • Improved understanding of the SISI test can lead to more accurate hearing evaluations and diagnoses.
    • The study supports the continued use of the SISI test as a valuable component of a comprehensive audiological test battery.
