    The descending-2-dB method is the best for speech testing, offering superior reliability and efficiency. This speech audiometry technique provides optimal results for hearing assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Speech Perception
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Speech audiometry is crucial for assessing hearing ability.
    • Standardized methods are needed for reliable speech testing.
    • Previous speech tests lacked consistent intelligibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate different speech testing methods for optimal intelligibility.
    • To determine the most reliable and efficient speech audiometry technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Re-recorded 15 spondee words for consistent intelligibility.
    • Collected speech thresholds (STs) from 60 adults using 6 method/step-size combinations.
    • Conducted a cost-benefit analysis including reliability, time, and PTA agreement.

    Main Results:

    • The descending-2-dB method demonstrated superior test-retest reliability.
    • This method was more efficient compared to other combinations.
    • The descending-2-dB approach showed better agreement with Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA).

    Conclusions:

    • The descending-2-dB method is recommended for speech audiometry.
    • This technique offers improved accuracy and efficiency in hearing assessments.
    • Standardizing speech testing enhances diagnostic value.
