Abstract

Objectives: To report the development and administration of the Saudi pediatric speech intelligibility (SPSI) test.

Methods: This study was carried out at King Abdullah Ear Specialist Center, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2021 and 2023. A pilot study was carried out in 5 regions of Saudi Arabia including 100 normal hearing children aged 7-11 years old, with 20 children from each region. The final test materials were voice-recorded by a native Saudi radio announcer, and a software-based application for administering the SPSI was developed.

Results: During the pilot study, minor adjustments were carried out to the test for more clarity. The developed SPSI software is an android-based application that includes features like automatic result calculation, data saving, and individual user accounts for examiners to review results. The SPSI test comprises 4-word cards and 2 sentence cards, each with 5 pictures, and operates in 3 modes: quiet, background noise, and competing sentences.

Conclusion: The SPSI test has been developed in an android-based software using the Saudi local dialects. It can facilitate comprehensive and accurate assessment of speech intelligibility, particularly in children with hearing impairments.

沙特儿科语言清晰度测试的开发和文化适应。

目的：报告沙特儿童语言智能测试（SPSI）的开发和实施情况：报告沙特儿童语言清晰度（SPSI）测试的开发和实施情况：本研究于 2021 年至 2023 年期间在沙特阿拉伯利雅得沙特国王大学阿卜杜拉国王耳科专家中心进行。在沙特阿拉伯的 5 个地区进行了试点研究，包括 100 名 7-11 岁听力正常的儿童，每个地区 20 名儿童。最终的测试材料由一名沙特本地电台播音员进行语音录制，并开发了一个用于管理 SPSI 的软件应用程序：结果：在试点研究期间，对测试进行了细微调整，使其更加清晰。所开发的 SPSI 软件是一款基于安卓系统的应用软件，具有自动计算结果、保存数据和供考生查看结果的个人用户账户等功能。SPSI 测试包括 4 张单词卡和 2 张句子卡，每张卡有 5 张图片，有 3 种操作模式：安静模式、背景噪音模式和竞争句子模式：SPSI 测试是利用沙特当地方言开发的基于安卓的软件。结论：SPSI 测试是利用沙特当地方言开发的一款基于安卓的软件，它有助于全面、准确地评估语言清晰度，尤其是听力障碍儿童的语言清晰度。
