Objective: A review is given of internationally comparable speech-in-noise tests for hearing
screening purposes that were part of the European HearCom project. This report describes …

Tests of sentence recognition in noise constitute an essential tool for the assessment of
auditory abilities that are representative of everyday listening experiences. A number of …

To meet the need for an objective self-test for hearing screening, a new Dutch speech-in-
noise test was developed. Digit triplets were used as speech material. The test was made …

The minimum standard deviations achievable for concurrent estimates of thresholds and
psychometric function slopes as well as the optimal target values for adaptive procedures …

With the advent of cognitive hearing science, increased attention has been given to
individual differences in cognitive functioning and their explanatory power in accounting for …

In communication acoustics, the communication channel consists of a sound source, a
channel (acoustic and/or electric) and finally the receiver: the human auditory system, a …

A method is described to select sentence materials for efficient measurement of the speech
reception threshold (SRT). The first part of the paper addresses the creation of the sentence …

The Danish sentence test DANTALE II was developed in analogy to the Swedish sentence
test by Hagerman and the German Oldenburg sentence test as a new Danish sentence test …

A Dutch sentence test (LIST) and a Dutch number test (LINT) have been developed and
validated for the accurate measurement of speech reception thresholds (SRT) in quiet and in …

Speech intelligibility measurements strongly depend on several procedural parameters. In
order to obtain comparable results from different test procedures, these parameters must be …
