The Synthetic Sentence Identification (SSI) test demonstrates high test-retest reliability for speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) in adults with normal hearing. Results varied by noise type but showed no learning or fatigue effects.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Hearing Science

Background:

  • The Synthetic Sentence Identification (SSI) test is a tool for assessing speech recognition in noise.
  • Understanding the reliability of the SSI test is crucial for accurate clinical assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the Synthetic Sentence Identification (SSI) test.
  • To examine the influence of different noise conditions on speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) using the SSI test.

Main Methods:

  • Speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) were assessed using an adaptive procedure for SSI lists across two sessions.
  • Two competition conditions were employed: a "Davy Crockett" passage and multitalker babble.
  • Twenty adults with normal hearing sensitivity participated in the study.

Main Results:

  • Significantly higher SRTs were observed with multitalker babble compared to the "Davy Crockett" passage.
  • Significant differences in SRTs were found among SSI lists when using the "Davy Crockett" competition.
  • No significant learning, practice, or fatigue effects were detected across trials in either noise condition.
  • High test-retest reliability was established for the SSI test across separate sessions.

Conclusions:

  • The Synthetic Sentence Identification (SSI) test exhibits high reliability for assessing speech recognition thresholds in adults with normal hearing.
  • The choice of noise masker impacts SRTs obtained with the SSI test.
  • The SSI test is a reliable measure, suitable for clinical use without significant practice or fatigue concerns.
