This study was conducted to evaluate the speech perception of Malaysian Chinese adults using the Taiwanese Mandarin HINT (MHINT-T) and the Malay HINT (MyHINT).
The MHINT-T and the MyHINT were presented in quiet and noise (front, right and left) conditions under headphones. Results for the two tests were compared with each other and with the norms for each test.
Malaysian Chinese native speakers of Mandarin (N = 58), 18-31 years of age with normal hearing.
On average, subjects demonstrated poorer speech perception ability than the normative samples for these tests. Repeated measures ANOVA showed that speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were slightly poorer on the MHINT-T than on the MyHINT for all test conditions. However, normalized SRTs were poorer by 0.6 standard deviations for MyHINT as compared with MHINT-T.
MyHINT and MHINT-T can be used as norm-referenced speech perception measures for Mandarin-speaking Chinese in Malaysia.
本研究旨在使用台湾华语听力辨识测试(MHINT-T)和马来语听力辨识测试(MyHINT)评估马来西亚华裔成年人的言语感知能力。
在安静环境以及耳机条件下的噪声(前方、右侧和左侧)环境中呈现MHINT-T和MyHINT。将两项测试的结果相互比较,并与每项测试的常模进行比较。
58名年龄在18至31岁之间、听力正常的马来西亚华裔普通话母语者。
平均而言,受试者在这些测试中的言语感知能力比常模样本差。重复测量方差分析表明,在所有测试条件下,MHINT-T的言语接受阈值(SRT)比MyHINT略差。然而,与MHINT-T相比,MyHINT的标准化SRT低0.6个标准差。
MyHINT和MHINT-T可作为马来西亚说普通话的华裔人群的常模参照言语感知测量工具。
