What is AZBio sentences?

Design: The AzBio sentence corpus includes 1000 sentences recorded from two female and two male talkers. The mean intelligibility of each sentence was estimated by processing each sentence through a five-channel CI simulation and calculating the mean percent correct score achieved by 15 normal-hearing listeners.

What is the AZBio?

One such speech perception test, the AzBio Sentence Test, has become the gold standard for measuring the speech perception abilities of those with cochlear implants since 2012 (Schafer, Pogue, & Milrany, 2012).

What is a CNC word list?

The original CNC word lists (Lehiste & Peterson, 1959) were a set of 10 lists of 50 words each that were phonetically balanced (with roughly equal phonemic probabilities) and controlled for text-based lexical frequency across lists.

What is AZBio audiology?

• AZBio is a speech intelligibility test, originally devised for testing cochlear implant perception. • It is proposed that the AZBio is suitable, in conjunction with existing tests, for hearing losses other than profound losses with cochlear implants.

How do you score BKB?

The test is scored by asking the child to repeat the spoken sentence and identify the correctly spoken target words. The final score is the number of correctly identified words from the list of 50 expressed as a percentage.

What is the BKB Sin test?

The BKB-SIN is a speech-in-noise test that uses BKB (Bamford-Kowal-Bench) sentences, recorded in four-talker babble. The BKB-SIN can be used to estimate SNR loss in children and adults for whom the QuickSIN test is too difficult.

What is CID W-22?

Abbreviated CID W-22 lists were administered to large groups of normal and hearing-impaired listeners to test the hypothesis, that fewer, judiciously chosen items can be used to test word recognition without compromising test accuracy.

What are BKB sentences?

The BKB sentence test is a sentence test widely used in audiology. It can be delivered verbally or by recorded voice. It’s widely used to identify how much the child is receiving by audition alone, and how much they rely on lip-reading.

What is spin test in audiology?

The SPIN test contains sentences that simulate a range of contextual situations encountered in everyday speech communication. Findings from several representative patients with sensorineural hearing loss demonstrate the possible clinical utility of the test to measure the effects of context on speech discrimination.
