Abstract
Objective: The goal was to develop a new set of male and female sentence materials in the Dutch language suitable for use in assessments of speech intelligibility in noise in children.
Design: A subset of the LIST sentences, a Flemish-Dutch language sentence intelligibility test, was selected for its suitability and appropriateness for children. This subset was grouped into new lists, which were then validated with speech-shaped noise.
Study sample: Fifty-four typically hearing children between 8 and 12 years old and 12 typically hearing adults participated.
Results: Children obtained an average SRT of -6.4 (± 0.8) dB SNR across all female lists, and -5.8 (± 0.8) dB SNR across all male lists. Furthermore, an age effect was observed, with performance improving with age. Lists were shown to be equivalent within each set.
Conclusion: The two sets of sentences developed and evaluated in noise here, one consisting of 280 sentences/recordings by a male speaker, and one consisting of 210 sentences/recordings by a female speaker are suitable for children aged 8 to 12 years old. Reference data for three age groups are provided.
