Errors on a nonsense syllable test (NST) were compared to pure-tone thresholds and ages of 109 subjects with normal or sensorineural hearing loss. A strong correlation was found between the number of NST errors and hearing loss at 2000 and 250 Hz. NST errors do not appear to be related to the age of subjects. Excellent predictive relationships were found between total NST errors and a weighted pure-tone average for slight to marked sensorineural hearing loss. Implications for counseling, site of lesion, and amplification evaluation are discussed.
对109名听力正常或患有感音神经性听力损失的受试者进行了无意义音节测试（NST）中的错误与纯音阈值及年龄的比较。结果发现，NST错误数量与2000Hz和250Hz时的听力损失之间存在很强的相关性。NST错误似乎与受试者的年龄无关。对于轻度至重度感音神经性听力损失，发现总NST错误与加权纯音平均值之间存在良好的预测关系。文中讨论了对咨询、病变部位及放大评估的影响。
