Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to develop standardized Urdu speech materials for assessing speech recognition threshold (SRT) and word recognition score (WRS) for clinical use in Pakistan.

Method: The development of Urdu speech materials followed four key parameters: phonemic coverage, phonetic dissimilarity, familiarity with the participants, and homogeneity in terms of audibility. Bisyllabic words for SRT measurement and monosyllabic words for WRS measurement were selected. The most familiar 50 spondee words and 50 monosyllabic words were selected for the evaluation of SRT and WRS, respectively, in children with normal hearing. Thirty spondee words and 34 monosyllabic words with relatively steep and homogeneous psychometric function slopes were included in the final lists.

Results: The mean psychometric function slope at the 50% threshold for the 30 selected spondee words was found to be 9.1%/dB, and for 34 monosyllabic words, it was found to be 6%/dB.

Conclusions: Bisyllabic words for SRT measurement and monosyllabic words for WRS measurement were successfully developed and evaluated in Lahore, Pakistan. There is a need for the development of speech audiometry materials in other Pakistani languages.

聋人及重听群体乌尔都语语音测听材料的研制。

目的：本研究旨在为巴基斯坦临床应用开发用于评估语音识别阈值（SRT）和单词识别评分（WRS）的标准化乌尔都语语音材料。方法：乌尔都语语音材料的开发遵循四个关键参数：音位覆盖、语音不相似、对参与者的熟悉程度和可听性的同质性。SRT测量选择双音节词，WRS测量选择单音节词。选取听力正常儿童最熟悉的50个自发词和50个单音节词分别进行SRT和WRS评价。30个自发词和34个单音节词的心理函数斜率相对陡且均匀。结果：30个自发性词在50%阈值处的平均心理测量函数斜率为9.1%/dB， 34个单音节词在50%阈值处的平均心理测量函数斜率为6%/dB。结论：巴基斯坦拉合尔成功开发并评价了用于SRT测量的双音节词和用于WRS测量的单音节词。有必要开发其他巴基斯坦语言的语音测听材料。

期刊介绍： Mission: JSLHR publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on the normal and disordered processes in speech, language, hearing, and related areas such as cognition, oral-motor function, and swallowing. The journal is an international outlet for both basic research on communication processes and clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, and management of communication disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. JSLHR seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of communication sciences and disorders, including speech production and perception; anatomy and physiology of speech and voice; genetics, biomechanics, and other basic sciences pertaining to human communication; mastication and swallowing; speech disorders; voice disorders; development of speech, language, or hearing in children; normal language processes; language disorders; disorders of hearing and balance; psychoacoustics; and anatomy and physiology of hearing.
