Abstract

Introduction: Purpose of our study was to compare two competing methods of performing bisyllabic word speech audiometry for the detection of the 50% speech reception threshold in noise (SRT50).

Methods: Classic method is performed submitting multiple word lists at a fixed signal-to-noise ratio. A newer Fast method - Italian Fast Speech Reception Threshold 50 (IFastSRT50) - is performed by means of program software with a single list of bisyllabic words and noise intensity shifting.

Results: Means comparison between SRT50 Classic and IFastSRT50 shows a slight significant correlation (r = 0.263; p = 0.044) and a wide significant difference: SRT50 Classic = -2.763 dB (SD = 4.1) and IFastSRT50 = -7.803 dB (SD = 2.1) (p < 0.0001). There is a high difference between the test execution time means (SRT50 Classic = 11 min, IFastSRT50 = 2 min; p < 0.0001). The correlation between test results and execution times was higher for SRT50 Classic than IFastSRT50.

Conclusion: IFastSRT50 test is a reliable method to quickly investigate signal-to-noise ratio needed to obtain 50% of recognition scores with bisyllabic words; it allows less execution time than SRT50 Classic method and can avoid patient fatigue and other limitations of different speech discrimination tests in noise as sentences based ones.

意大利快速语言接收阈值测试，一种调查成年人在噪声中听觉障碍的新方法。

简介：我们研究的目的是比较两种相互竞争的双音节词语音测听方法，以检测噪声中 50%语音接收阈值（SRT50）：我们研究的目的是比较两种相互竞争的双音节词语音测听方法，以检测噪声中 50%的语音接收阈值（SRT50）：传统方法是在固定信噪比下提交多个单词表。最新的快速方法--意大利快速语音接收阈值 50（IFastSRT50）--是通过一个程序软件，使用单个双音节词列表和噪声强度转换来进行的：结果：SRT50 Classic 和 IFastSRT50 之间的均值比较显示出轻微的显著相关性（r=0.263；p=0.044）和较大的显著差异：SRT50 Classic=-2.763dB (SD=4.1) 和 IFastSRT50=-7.803dB (SD=2.1) (P < 0.0001)。测试执行时间的平均值差异很大（SRT50 Classic=11分钟，IFastSRT50=2分钟；P < 0.0001）。SRT50 Classic测试结果与执行时间之间的相关性高于IFastSRT50：IFastSRT50测试是一种可靠的方法，可快速检测双音节单词获得50%识别分数所需的信噪比，其执行时间比SRT50经典法更短，可避免患者疲劳和基于句子的不同噪声语音辨别测试的其他限制。

期刊介绍： ''Audiology and Neurotology'' provides a forum for the publication of the most-advanced and rigorous scientific research related to the basic science and clinical aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal seeks submission of cutting edge research opening up new and innovative fields of study that may improve our understanding and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems, their central connections and their perception in the central nervous system. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines.
