Summary

A new Saudi Arabic speech test was developed using phonetically balanced word lists. This test shows normal speech-audiometric curves and intelligibility thresholds comparable to international standards.

Background:

Developing standardized speech tests is crucial for accurate hearing assessments.
Classical Arabic word lists are available but require adaptation for specific dialects like Saudi Arabic.

Purpose of the Study:

To construct and validate a Saudi Arabic speech test using phonetically balanced monosyllabic word lists.
To evaluate the familiarity and homogeneity of the selected Arabic words.
To compare the performance of the Saudi Arabic speech test with international standards.

Main Methods:

Selection of phonetically balanced monosyllabic classical Arabic words from educational and media sources.
Evaluation of word familiarity and homogeneity by native speakers (students).
Division of words into six subgroups of 20 words each.
Administration of the speech test to normally hearing subjects to obtain speech-audiometric curves.

Main Results:

The developed Saudi Arabic speech test utilizes phonetically balanced monosyllabic word lists.
Word lists were sourced from primary school books, newspapers, and children's stories.
Normal speech-audiometric curves obtained with this test are comparable to those from European and American monosyllabic word lists.
The threshold of intelligibility for the Saudi Arabic test material is similar to foreign language monosyllabic word lists.

Conclusions:

The constructed Saudi Arabic speech test is a valid tool for audiological assessments.
The test demonstrates performance characteristics similar to established international speech tests.
This standardized test facilitates accurate hearing evaluations within the Saudi Arabian population.
