摘要
目的:本研究旨在确定在澳大利亚记录和规范的空间化噪声听力通用(LiSN-U)测试是否适用于讲土耳其语的儿童和成人。设计:参与者进行LiSN-U测试,包括许多语言的常见语音。该测试评估了在空间化和非空间化噪音中识别语音的能力,以及使用空间线索将目标声音与竞争声音区分开来的能力。研究样本:该研究涉及76名儿童和22名听力正常的成年人。结果:分离条件下的语音接收阈值随着年龄的增长而提高,为1.3 dB/年(p = 0.001)。使用空间线索的能力以0.9 dB/年的速度增加(p p > 0.25)。结论:本研究支持LiSN-U测试对土耳其语使用者的有效性,表明分数不受英语熟练程度的影响,并且表明该测试至少可以用于英语以外的其他语言使用者。这是第一次证明LiSN-U测试可以在不改变的情况下用于至少一些其他语言的说话者。
The non-effect of language on the Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal (LiSN-U) test: performance with Turkish speakers.
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether the Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal (LiSN-U) test, recorded and normed in Australia, is suitable for Turkish-speaking children and adults.
Design: Participants performed the LiSN-U test, which comprises speech sounds common to many languages. This test assesses the ability to identify speech sounds in spatialised and non-spatialised noise, and the ability to use spatial cues to segregate target sounds from competing sounds.
Study sample: The study involved 76 children and 22 adults with normal hearing.
Results: Speech reception thresholds in the separated condition improved with age at 1.3 dB/year (p < 0.001), and 0.4 dB/year in the co-located condition (p = 0.001). The ability to use spatial cues increased at 0.9 dB/year (p < 0.001). The mean z-scores, calculated using Australian norms, were not significantly different from zero for all three measures, for both adults and children (p > 0.25).
Conclusion: The study supports the validity of LiSN-U test for Turkish speakers, indicating that scores are not affected by English proficiency and suggesting that the test can be used for speakers of at least some languages other than English. This is the first demonstration that the LiSN-U test can be used without change for talkers of at least some other languages.
