To assess speech perception in children, speech audiometric sentence tests are generally better suited than single word tests because of their steeper discrimination function and thus higher sensitivity. A disadvantage of older German single word speech audiometric tests for children is their inapplicability in quiet and in noise. Moreover, their discrimination functions are shallower than those of optimized sentence tests, particularly in noise. The Oldenburg sentence test for children (Oldenburger Kinder-Satztest; OlKiSa) has already been shown to test reliably the speech perception in noise in normal-hearing children. Testing hearing-impaired children in noise, however, may be difficult. Therefore, quality criteria and norms for testing in quiet are also needed.
The OlKiSa in quiet was validated with 224 normal-hearing children between ages 4 to 10 years.
The discrimination functions are steeper (6.4 to 10.7 %/dB) than those of the commonly used German single word tests. Age-specific standards for 50% speech perception in quiet (speech reception threshold, SRT) are provided.
The OlKiSa is a valid audiometric test to quantify speech perception in quiet in children from age 4.
为了评估儿童的言语感知能力，相较于单字测试，言语听阈测试通常更适合，因为其辨别功能更陡峭，因此更敏感。旧的德国儿童单字言语测听测试的一个缺点是，它们在安静和噪声环境中都不适用。此外，它们的辨别功能比优化后的句子测试要浅，特别是在噪声环境中。奥登堡儿童句子测试（Oldenburg Kinder-Satztest；OlKiSa）已经被证明可以可靠地测试正常听力儿童在噪声环境中的言语感知能力。然而，在噪声环境中测试听力受损的儿童可能会有困难。因此，也需要测试在安静环境中的质量标准和规范。
224 名年龄在 4 至 10 岁之间的正常听力儿童在安静环境中对 OlKiSa 进行了验证。
辨别功能更陡峭（6.4 至 10.7%/dB），比常用的德国单字测试更陡峭。提供了 50%言语感知在安静环境中的年龄特异性标准（言语接受阈，SRT）。
OlKiSa 是一种有效的听力测试方法，可以在 4 岁及以上儿童中量化在安静环境中的言语感知能力。
