The aim of this study was to develop a children's version of the Cantonese Hearing in Noise Test (CHINT-C). This was accomplished in two stages. First, a total of 120 sentences understood by children aged 6-7 years were selected from the original pool of CHINT sentences and were grouped into 12 lists, each containing 10 sentences composed of 10 characters. Following this, 260 primary and secondary school children, with ages ranging from 6 to 17 years, and 21 adults of age 18 or older were administered the CHINT-C to determine its reliability/validity, normative data, and age-specific correction factors. The result showed good interlist reliability, and test-retest reliability for the CHINT-C. The speech perception skills assessed using the CHINT-C do not reach adult level until after 11-13 years of age. Correction factors were established that could be used to determine age-specific norms for the evaluation of speech intelligibility of children in various sound fields.
本研究旨在开发粤语听说能力测试(CHINT-C)的儿童版。这是分两个阶段完成的。首先,从 CHINT 句子的原始库中选择了 120 个 6-7 岁儿童能理解的句子,并将其分成 12 个列表,每个列表包含 10 个由 10 个字符组成的句子。在此之后,对 260 名 6 至 17 岁的中小学生和 21 名 18 岁或以上的成年人进行了 CHINT-C 测试,以确定其可靠性/有效性、常模数据和特定年龄的校正因素。结果表明,CHINT-C 的列表间和重测信度均良好。使用 CHINT-C 评估的言语感知技能要到 11-13 岁以后才能达到成人水平。还建立了校正因素,可以用于确定不同声场中儿童言语可懂度的特定年龄常模。
