Abstract

Background and Aim: Word Recognition Test (WRT) is a widely used component of routine audiology battery. Several studies were conducted on the effect of words in word recognition lists and whether word difficulty level had an effect in word recalling process of patients. This study aims to compare the scores of patients to the designed Başkent WRT and commonly used Hacettepe WRT by focusing on the lexical neighbourhood. Methods: Study carried out in an Ear Nose and Throat Department of a private university hospital between June and August 2021. 34 persons with sensorineural hearing loss and 34 persons without hearing loss was participated in the study. Designed WRT and widely used common WRT were presented to the participants. Results: Results showed that common WRT included words with more lexical neighbours and sensorineural hearing loss group scores were significantly lower compared to designed WRT. Conclusion: Persons with sensorineural hearing loss have a tendency to misunderstand presented words in WRT as they may trigger other words and misguide the patient. Keywords: Speech audiometry; speech discrimination tests; hearing tests; psychoacoustics

词汇邻域对土耳其语单词识别测试的影响

背景与目的：单词识别测试（WRT）是一项广泛应用的听力测试。研究了单词识别表中单词的影响，以及单词难度水平是否对患者的单词回忆过程有影响。本研究旨在通过关注词汇邻域，将患者的得分与设计的Başkent WRT和常用的Hacettepe WRT进行比较。方法：2021年6月至8月在一所私立大学医院耳鼻咽喉科进行的研究。34名感音神经性听力损失患者和34名无听力损失患者参与了这项研究。向与会者介绍了设计的WRT和广泛使用的通用WRT。结果：结果显示，与设计的WRT相比，常见的WRT包括具有更多词汇邻居的单词，并且感音神经性听力损失组得分显著较低。关键词：言语测听；言语辨别测试；听力测试；心理声学
