The relation between degree of sensorineural hearing loss and maximum speech identification scores (PB) is commonly used in audiological diagnosis and rehabilitation. It is important to consider the relation between the degree of hearing loss and the lower boundary of PB, as the PB varies largely between subjects at a given degree of hearing loss. The present study determines the lower boundary by estimating the lower limit of the one-tailed 95% confidence limit (CL) for a Dantale I, word list, in a large group of young and older subjects with primarily sensorineural hearing loss. PB scores were measured using Dantale I, at 30 dB above the speech reception threshold or at the most comfortable level from 1,961 subjects with a wide range of pure-tone averages. A nonlinear quantile regression approach was applied to determine the lower boundary (95% CL) of PB scores. At a specific pure-tone average, if the measured PB is poorer than the lower boundary (95% CL) of PB, it may be considered poor.
在听力学诊断和康复中，通常使用感觉神经性听力损失程度与最大言语识别得分（PB）之间的关系。考虑听力损失程度与 PB 的下限之间的关系非常重要，因为在给定的听力损失程度下，PB 在不同受试者之间差异很大。本研究通过估计大量年轻和老年受试者使用 Dantale I 单词列表的单尾 95%置信限（CL）下限来确定下限，这些受试者主要患有感觉神经性听力损失。使用 Dantale I 在言语接受阈以上 30dB 或从 1961 名受试者中最舒适的水平测量 PB 得分，这些受试者的纯音平均值范围很广。应用非线性分位数回归方法来确定 PB 得分的下限（95%CL）。在特定的纯音平均值下，如果测量的 PB 劣于 PB 的下限（95%CL），则可以认为是差的。
