Recognition masking-level differences for 10 CID W-1 spondaic words

R H Wilson, J E Shanks, K A Koebsell

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |December 1, 1982

    Summary

    This study explored the masking-level difference (MLD) for speech recognition in young adults. Findings suggest a specific word subset enhances MLD clinical utility for identifying hearing impairments.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology and Speech Sciences
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Hearing Research

    Background:

    • The masking-level difference (MLD) is a psychoacoustic measure assessing binaural hearing, crucial for speech perception in noise.
    • Standard MLD procedures utilize extensive word lists, potentially limiting clinical efficiency.
    • Optimizing MLD tasks for clinical settings requires evaluating shorter word sets and their diagnostic capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine psychometric functions and MLDs for specific speech conditions (S-ON, S-π-ON) using a selected word subgroup.
    • To evaluate the clinical utility of a shortened MLD procedure for speech recognition.
    • To establish normative data for MLDs in young, normal-hearing adults.

    Main Methods:

    • Obtained psychometric functions and MLDs for 10 spondaic words with the largest MLDs from a set of 36 CID W-1 words.
    • Recruited 36 young, normal-hearing adults for the study.
    • Calculated mean MLD and standard deviation to define normal performance ranges.

    Main Results:

    • The mean MLD for the selected word subgroup in young normal adults was 9.4 dB (SD = 1.2 dB).
    • A minimum MLD of 7.4 dB was proposed as the lower limit for normal binaural hearing.
    • The 10-word subgroup demonstrated potential for greater separation between normal and impaired performance.

    Conclusions:

    • A shorter MLD procedure using a specific 10-word subset can be clinically implemented for speech recognition testing.
    • This optimized MLD task may enhance diagnostic accuracy in identifying binaural hearing deficits.
    • Clinics should establish their own normative MLD data due to variability in materials and procedures.
