Purpose The purpose of this study was to construct a recorded speech recognition threshold (SRT) test for Spanish-speaking children utilizing a picture board and a picture-pointing task. Design The Spanish Pediatric Speech Recognition Threshold (SPSRT) test was developed and validated in this study. Test construction steps included (a) stimulus selection, (b) assessment of familiarity, (c) digital recording, (d) creation of pictures that accurately depicted the target word from the stimulus set, and (e) validation of the test and recordings. SRTs were obtained from 24 Spanish-speaking children whose 1st language was Spanish. Results Normative data are presented that validate the SPSRT and establish the baseline relationship between the pure-tone average and the SRT obtained with the SPSRT. Results indicated that the SPSRT obtained using this test should be within 2-12 dB of an individual's pure-tone average for Spanish-speaking children with normal hearing and minimal hearing loss. Conclusions The SPSRT was developed and validated as a picture-pointing Spanish SRT test to be used with Spanish-speaking children. The 2-channel recording contains an English translation track, making this test easy to administer and interpret for clinicians without knowledge of Spanish.
目的 本研究的目的是利用图片板和图片指认任务为说西班牙语的儿童构建一种言语识别阈值（SRT）测试。设计 在本研究中开发并验证了西班牙语儿童言语识别阈值（SPSRT）测试。测试构建步骤包括：（a）刺激选择，（b）熟悉度评估，（c）数字录音，（d）创建能准确描绘刺激集中目标单词的图片，以及（e）测试和录音的验证。从24名第一语言为西班牙语的儿童中获得了SRT。结果 给出了标准化数据，验证了SPSRT，并建立了纯音平均值与通过SPSRT获得的SRT之间的基线关系。结果表明，对于听力正常和听力损失最小的说西班牙语的儿童，使用该测试获得的SPSRT应在个体纯音平均值的2 - 12分贝范围内。结论 开发并验证了SPSRT作为一种用于说西班牙语儿童的图片指认西班牙语SRT测试。双通道录音包含英语翻译轨道，使得该测试对于不懂西班牙语的临床医生来说易于实施和解读。
