    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Standardized auditory discrimination measures are limited for children with very limited verbal abilities.
    • Pediatric audiological evaluations require tools sensitive to diverse communication needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a Sound Effects Recognition Test (SERT) for pediatric audiological evaluations.
    • To provide a standardized measure of auditory discrimination for non-verbal or minimally verbal children.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the Sound Effects Recognition Test (SERT) with 3 equivalent sets.
    • Each set contains 10 familiar environmental sounds.
    • Evaluation of the test with normal-hearing pre-schoolers.

    Main Results:

    • The Sound Effects Recognition Test (SERT) demonstrated potential as a standardized measure.
    • Normative data for normal-hearing pre-schoolers were established.
    • The test's utility in pediatric audiology was supported.

    Conclusions:

    • The Sound Effects Recognition Test (SERT) is a valuable addition to pediatric audiological evaluations.
    • It offers a crucial method for assessing auditory discrimination in children with limited verbal skills.
    • Clinical applications for hearing-impaired patients are suggested.
