    Predicting speech discrimination scores (SDS) from hearing tests is possible using regression or classification. Accuracy is limited by severe hearing loss, but these methods offer clinical utility for audiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction of speech discrimination scores (SDS) is crucial for audiological assessment.
    • Existing methods for predicting SDS from audiometric thresholds have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate three distinct methods for predicting SDS from audiometric data.
    • To compare the predictive accuracy of stepwise multiple regression, smear-and-sweep analysis, and clinical classification.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from 529 ears with sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Applied stepwise multiple regression, smear-and-sweep analysis, and audiometric configuration classification.
    • Correlated predicted SDS with actual SDS values.

    Main Results:

    • All three prediction systems demonstrated similar predictive abilities, with squared correlations ranging from 0.58 to 0.60.
    • Smear-and-sweep analysis showed the highest correlation but is complex for clinical use.
    • Stepwise multiple regression and clinical classification offered practical clinical prediction methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Stepwise multiple regression and clinical classification are clinically viable tools for predicting SDS.
    • Prediction accuracy is significantly reduced in cases of moderate-to-severe hearing loss due to increased SDS variability.
    • Audiometric slope influences SDS predictions primarily in cases of slight hearing loss.
