Speech thresholds were determined from the performance intensity function for phonetically balanced (PB) words in 2,117 patients with varying types and degrees of hearing loss. Comparison of this threshold for PB words (PBT) with both pure-tone sensitivity (PTA) and the conventional threshold for spondee words (ST) shows that PBT not only provides a cross-check on pure-tone level, but also conveys additional information about audiometric contour.
在2117例患有不同类型和程度听力损失的患者中,通过语音平衡(PB)词的性能强度函数确定言语阈值。将PB词阈值(PBT)与纯音敏感度(PTA)和传统的扬扬格词阈值(ST)进行比较,结果表明PBT不仅可对纯音水平进行交叉核对,还能传达有关听力图轮廓的额外信息。
