Abstract

Objective: To develop the Slovenian DIN test using synthetic speech and digit-equalisation via an automatic speech recognition system, and to evaluate the test.

Design: The Aladdin procedure was used to develop the Slovenian DIN. A repeated measures design was used to measure speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) with three antiphasic DIN tests and two diotic DIN tests.

Study sample: Twenty-eight listeners with normal hearing and 62 listeners with hearing loss.

Results: There was a learning effect for the initial test but no further improvement in SRT with subsequent tests. The standard error of measurement (SEM) for listeners with normal hearing was 0.9 and 0.7 dB for the antiphasic and diotic DIN tests, respectively. Hearing screening characteristics were excellent.

Conclusions: The newly developed Slovenian DIN test has high precision, expressed by a small SEM, and stimulates the implementation in clinical practice. It can also be used for hearing screening with associated cut-off values.

开发斯洛文尼亚DIN测试使用全自动阿拉丁程序。

目的：通过语音自动识别系统，利用合成语音和数字均衡进行斯洛文尼亚语DIN测试，并对测试结果进行评价。设计：Aladdin程序用于开发斯洛文尼亚DIN。使用重复测量设计测量语音识别阈值（srt），包括3次反相DIN测试和2次diotic DIN测试。研究样本：28名听力正常的听众和62名听力受损的听众。结果：初始测试有学习效果，后续测试没有进一步改善。对于听力正常的听者，反相位DIN测试的测量标准误差（SEM）分别为0.9和0.7 dB。听力筛查特征优良。结论：新研制的斯洛文尼亚DIN检测方法精度高，用小扫描电镜表示，可促进临床应用。它还可以用于具有相关临界值的听力筛查。
