What are two types of Speech Audiometry assessment? - Answer-1. Threshold Testing
2. Suprathreshold Testing
What is the test used for Speech Audiometry threshold testing? - Answer-Speech Recognition Threshold
(SRT)
What are the test used for Speech Audiometry suprathreshold testing? - Answer-1. Word Recognition
Testing (WRT)
2. Speech-In-Noise Testing (SPIN)
3. Most Comfortable Loudness Level (MCL)
4. Uncomfortable Loudness Level (UCL)
Where is the greatest concentration of speech sounds located? - Answer-500 - 2,000 Hz.
What is the Pure-Tone Average (PTA)? - Answer-Ear-specific average of AC thresholds at 500 - 1,000 -
2,000 Hz.
What materials are needed for Speech Audiometry? - Answer-1. Diagnostic Audiometer
2. Source of Speech Signal Routed to Audiometer (MLV and Pre-Recorded Word List/Materials)
3. Transducer to Present Speech Signal to Patient (AC: Headphones/Inserts, BC: Bone Oscillator)
, What is Channel 1 used for during Speech Audiometry? - Answer-Presenting speech stimulus - 'Mic' if
presenting Live Voice, 'Ext. A' for recorded material
What is Channel 2 used for during Speech Audiometry? - Answer-'Ext. B' to add competing noise/babble
in the contralateral ear
What is one important limitation to presenting the speech stimulus via monaural testing? - Answer-Not
real-world... don't typically hearing speech with only one ear
Why do we typically test speech material via binaural testing? - Answer-More 'real-world' perspective of
speech recognition, usually superior to monaural performance
What is Monitored Live Voice? - Answer-Tester presenting words into a microphone AND monitoring
their volume on the VU meter
What do you want to see on the VU meter when presenting speech via Monitored Live Voice? - Answer-
Meter peaking at 0 during nucleus of the word
What is Recorded Material during Speech Audiometry? - Answer-Tester using pre-recorded list from CD
or file directory on computer system to present speech stimulus
Which is better: Recorded Material or Monitored Live Voice? - Answer-Recorded Material
Why is recorded material better than monitored live voice? - Answer-Best consistency/least variability,
test standardization, better calibration
What are the 'Pros' of using recorded material? - Answer-- Control over presentation intensity
- No inter-tester variance
- No intra-tester variance
