Audiology - SRT + WRT Exam
Please provide a list of three reasons why we test SRT. Additionally, it helps
identify the optimum gain when fitting hearing aids and it validates the results that
were found for pure tones. Assists in determining the optimal decibel level for
speech testing that is above the threshold
It is recommended that the SRT be within __ db of any one of the pure tone
averages. ANSWER +/- 10 PERCENT
It is said by Stach that the SRT will agree with the pure tone threshold on the
audiogram, which can be either the best or the worst.
What are the consequences of having a weak SRT and pure tone agreement? - The
ANSWER Unadulterated tone thresholds might not be reliable.
Possibly, SRTs are not legitimate.
How do you define a spondee word? How come they are utilized in SRT? That is,
examples PLEASE ANSWER: a compound word consisting of two syllables, each
of which is a word in its own right, which serves as a stimulus for SRT testing
In terms of audibility, homogenous means that each syllable is given the same
amount of emphasis.
• Highly repetitive and predictable
• It is easily distinguishable
•Easy to identify even if only a portion of the word is heard; it is possible to use all
fifty items on the list or only ten of them.
, A few examples include airplane, birthday, mushroom, cowboy, outside, and
oatmeal.
Remember the following when you are getting PT acquainted with spondee words:
- ANSWER reason
quantity of intensity
method - if PTs are unable to comprehend a term
A reading of the lips
*Use only words that the pt is familiar with*
For what purpose is it important to become familiar with the words of the spondee?
It is important to determine how soft a person can hear speech and whether or not
they are able to repeat it.
Can you tell me about the level of difficulty involved in becoming familiar with
spondee words? - ANSWER: Start at the level of listening that is most comfortable
for you.
Why is it necessary to perform lip reading to become familiar with spondee words?
When familiarizing themselves with live voice, ANSWER pt can achieve this.
ANSWER 20 db or higher for adults is within the usual range of acceptable limits
for SRT.
At least 15 decibels, the child
Same as pure tone, SRT Degrees of HL - ANSWER is the same thing.
16–25 decibels High-Level:
Mild HL: 26-40 decibels
