A battery of speech audiometric measures and a battery of neuropsychological measures were administered to 200 elderly individuals with varying degrees of pure-tone sensitivity loss. Results were analyzed from the standpoint of the extent to which variation in speech audiometric scores could be predicted by knowledge of pure-tone hearing level, age, and cognitive status. For the four monotic test procedures (PB, SPIN-Low, SPIN-High, and SSI) degree of hearing loss bore the strongest relation to speech recognition score. Cognitive status accounted for little of the variance in any of these four speech audiometric scores. In the case of the single dichotic test procedure (DSI), both degree of hearing loss and speed of mental processing, as measured by the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS-R, accounted for significant variance. Finally, age accounted for significant unique variance only in the SSI score.
对200名有不同程度纯音听力损失的老年人进行了一系列言语听力测量和一系列神经心理学测量。从通过纯音听力水平、年龄和认知状态的信息来预测言语听力分数变化的程度这一角度对结果进行了分析。对于四种单耳测试程序（PB、SPIN - 低、SPIN - 高和SSI），听力损失程度与言语识别分数的关系最为密切。认知状态在这四种言语听力分数中的任何一种中所占的方差都很小。在单双耳测试程序（DSI）的情况下，听力损失程度和由韦氏成人智力量表修订版（WAIS - R）数字符号分测验所测量的心理加工速度都占显著方差。最后，年龄仅在SSI分数中占显著的独特方差。
