Many clinics are faced with the difficulty of evaluating performance in patients who speak a language for which there are no validated tests. It would be desirable to have a nonlinguistic method of evaluating these patients. Spectral ripple tests are nonlinguistic and highly correlated with speech identification performance. However, they are generally not amenable to clinical environments as they typically require the use of computers which are often not found in clinic sound booths. In this study, we evaluate the Spectral-temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) Lite for computeRless Measurement (SLRM), which is a new variant of the adaptive SMRT that can be implemented via a CD player.
SMRT and SLRM were measured for 10 normal hearing and 10 cochlear implant participants.
Performance on the two tests was highly correlated (r = 0.97).
The results suggest that SLRM can be used interchangeably with SMRT but can be implemented without a computer.
许多诊所都面临着评估讲非验证性语言的患者的表现的困难。如果有一种非语言的方法来评估这些患者,那将是非常理想的。频谱波纹测试是非语言的,与语音识别性能高度相关。然而,由于它们通常需要使用计算机,而这些计算机在诊所隔音间中往往找不到,因此它们通常不适用于临床环境。在这项研究中,我们评估了 Spectral-temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) Lite for computeRless Measurement (SLRM),这是一种自适应 SMRT 的新变体,可以通过 CD 播放器来实现。
对 10 名正常听力和 10 名人工耳蜗植入患者进行了 SMRT 和 SLRM 测量。
两种测试的性能高度相关(r = 0.97)。
结果表明,SLRM 可以与 SMRT 互换使用,但无需计算机即可实现。
