Q

Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT)

Purpose

A

Cross check puretone thresholds to compare SRT & PTA average ( 500 Hz, 1K Hz, 2K Hz)

provides basis for selecting presentation level for speech recognition test.

Q

Speech Recognition Threshold Procedure

ASHA method

A
  1. Begin above threshods ( ~20-25 above PTA)
  2. If correct, DESCEND 5 dB until 2 consecutive words are missed
  3. Increase 10 dB = starting level
  4. At Starting Level present 5 words
  5. Decrease in 5 dB steps & score 5 words each level
  6. Repeat until all 5 are missed = Stopping Level
  7. Subtract # from starting level
  8. add 2 dB correction factor

Q

Speech Dection Threshold (SDT)

Define

A

Used when SRT can not be established. Lowest level speech can be detected,not understood.

Good for minimal language skills.
