Exam 1 Part 3 Flashcards
Frequency (Hz) on x-axis= ______.
Pitch
What frequencies (Hz) do we use to find the pure-tone average?
500, 1000, 2000 Hz
The pure-tone average coincides with _______.
SRT (speech-reception threshold)
Using spondee words to obtain; softest level they can repeat the spondee words
SRT
Percentage of monosyllabic words repeated correctly that is presented at a comfortable level; “Say the word ____”
Word recognition scores (WRS)/Word discrimination OR speech recognition scores/Speech discrimination
Level for listening to speech comfortably
Most comfortable loudness level
Level speech becomes uncomfortably loud
Uncomfortable loudness level
What makes up the dynamic range?
Uncomfortable loudness level - SRT
Influences listening device selection and development of auditory training program
Dynamic range
Helps with the detectability of sound in real-world listening by using a loudspeaker
Sound field testing
What is the purpose of speech audiometry?
Determine if amplification is needed, compare aided vs. unaided performance, compare performances between devices, reveal speech recognition difficulties to patients, determine if visual cues help with patient, track performance over time
What variables may affect a speech auditory assessment?
Age/cognitive skills, linguistic competency, degree of hearing loss, mode of communication
What are the most commonly used stimuli in speech audiometry?
Monosyllabic words
What are the advantages to word stimuli?
Easy to score, able to do fine-grain scoring
What are the disadvantages to word stimuli?
No representative to real-world situations
