    The Nonsense Syllable Test (NST) can be administered multiple times in one session without practice effects. This makes it suitable for hearing aid evaluations and performance-intensity functions.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • The Nonsense Syllable Test (NST) is a tool used to assess speech recognition.
    • Understanding potential practice effects is crucial for accurate test-retest reliability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of repeated administrations and visual reinforcement on NST performance.
    • To determine if practice effects occur with the NST.

    Main Methods:

    • Four groups of normal-hearing adults were tested using the NST.
    • Two groups received daily testing over five days with or without visual reinforcement.
    • Two groups received multiple randomizations within a single session at different presentation levels.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were found between groups with and without visual reinforcement.

  • Presentation level and number of trials (days) influenced performance.
  • No practice effects were observed in groups tested within a single session.

    • Conclusions:

    • The NST can be reliably administered multiple times within a single session.
    • The test is suitable for deriving performance-intensity functions and for hearing aid evaluations.
    • The absence of practice effects enhances the NST's utility for repeated assessments.
