Speech In Noise Testing

The information provided on speech in noise testing is very limited to a description on hearing in noise. It is a very valuable portion of the test battery as it represents a key complaint found in hearing aid users - this being the issue of being unable to hear speech in noise. ^[1] It would be good to mention how well these types of tests evaluate the two component characteristics of hearing loss: the loss of acuity and the loss in the ability to clarify speech. ^[2]

The information also only encompasses a description of one type of speech in noise test. In fact, there has been new test developed to be more efficient, such as the QuickSIN. ^[3] A brief overview of the more popular tests would be a good idea to include in a description page such as this.

References

This article has quite a bit of content, however there seems to be a lack of source citations. There are only two articles that have been referenced for this page, but there is a lot of factual information in the content of each section. To provide more accurate and current information, there should be more references to appropriate and reliable sources. This will help to improve the article on hearing tests. I think a good goal to improve this article would be to focus on adding to the content by providing references for factual information. Sara.hartson (talk) 19:31, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tests that need to be included

Information needs to be added regarding tests that are routine part of clinical assessment of hearing and speech understanding. My suggestions include:

Information about masking
Speech audiometry to include tests of auditory threshold determination
speech discrimination testing.
Tests for dynamic range of hearing from threshold to comfortable loudness to discomfort and pain.
Reference tests for auditory processing disorders and (send the reader to that Wiki page)
Use of speech audiometry for site of lesion: e.g. middle ear disease, cochlear hearing loss, retrocochlear hearing loss, etc
speech testing in quiet and in noise, at different S/N levels, and why
electrophysiologic testing
otoacoustic emissions
acoustic reflex thresholds and reflex decay
Tests for auditory recruitment
Tests for auditory fatigue
