ASHA Spondees

September 20, 2015February 27, 2017 ~ auditecinfo ~ Leave a comment

ASHA Spondees* is a speech threshold (speech reception threshold-SRT) recording. These are two sets of 18 spondaic words formulated by an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) committee of audiologists. The two lists are considered to be of equivalent difficulty. The SRT is 20 dB SPL. This list is considered suitable for all ages, but young children may be unfamiliar with the vocabulary. Therefore it may be necessary to administer a test for young children (such as Child Spondees).

ASHA Spondees includes a) audio recording, and b) word list. This product does not include administration instructions or normative data. It is assumed that purchasers of Auditec’s products are well trained in their use, purpose, and interpretation. Available from Auditec, Inc.

Santiago APD Battery©

September 18, 2015April 24, 2024 ~ auditecinfo ~ 7 Comments

The Santiago APD Battery© includes the following Spanish language tests:

Spanish Dichotic Digits
Spanish Filtered Speech
Spanish Binaural Fusion
Spanish Speech in Noise (at +10 dB and 0 dB signal-to-noise ratios)

The Santiago APD Battery© (SAPD) is a set of four tests that assess (central) auditory processing (AP) in native Spanish-speaking adults. SAPD was developed by Adrian Fuente, Ph.D. of the Audiology Lab School of Speech and Hearing Sciences Medical Faculty, University of Chile. Since auditory processing includes various auditory abilities, different tests should be carried out to assess AP. Some of these tests utilize verbal stimuli while others do not. For those auditory abilities that require verbal material to be assessed, e.g., dichotic listening, auditory performance in competing acoustic signals and auditory performance with degraded acoustic materials, tests with verbal stimuli in the language of the patient must be used. The SAPD battery was created because of this need. The aim of these tests is to assess some of the aspects of AP in Spanish-speaking adult patients suspected to have APD and/or with hearing complaints other than those associated with reduced hearing thresholds.

Each of the tests aims to assess different aspects of central auditory processing.

Speech-in-noise requires recognition of monosyllable in the presence of white noise, according to ASHA (1996) it fits the low redundancy monaural speech category.
Filtered Speech requires recognition of monosyllables that have been low pass filtered, a low redundancy category.
Binaural fusion requires recognition of monosyllables whose low frequency spectrum is presented to one ear and high frequency spectrum simultaneously to the other ear, this test is in the binaural interaction category.
Dichotic digits requires the patient to repeat two pairs of digits which are presented simultaneously to both ears, it is in the dichotic speech category.

Auditec recommends buying the Santiago APD Battery© as a full set. However, Auditec sells the tests individually as well for those with budget restraints. Normative data was derived from a population of native Spanish speaking persons living in Chile. As in any language, there are differences in dialect and one needs to verify these data on the local population.

The Santiago APD Battery© includes a) audio recording, and b) manual and score forms as printable pdf files on CDRom. The extensive manual is provided in both Spanish and English. It includes administration, scoring, and interpretation information. Normative data is included for adults only. It can be assumed children over the age of 12 will do as well (or nearly as well) as adults.

Speech In Noise©

September 18, 2015June 13, 2025 ~ auditecinfo ~ 1 Comment

The Speech in Noise© (SIN) test was developed to help determine how much a given hearing aid or pair of hearing aids helps an individual understand speech in a background of noise, compared to listening unaided or with other hearing aids. The test consists of a series of female-talker recordings of the IEEE (modified Harvard) sentences as the target speech, and four-talker babble (three women and one man) as the noise source. Five sentences are recorded at each of four signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios: 15 dB, 10 dB, 5 dB and 0 dB S/N, all at the 0 dB VU meter calibration level, followed by a similar series recorded at a signal level 30 dB lower than the calibration level (-30 dB re 0 VU).

Therefore, there are 20 sentences at each level for a total of 40 sentences (or 4 IEEE lists), all of which constitutes a block. There are nine blocks of the SIN test, so that nine comparisons can be made without repeating sentences. Each listening condition takes approximately twelve minutes to administer.

The Speech in Noise© includes a) audio recording, and b) instructions and score forms as printable pdf files. The instructions provide information on administration.

Auditory Fusion Test-Revised© (AFT-R)

September 3, 2015February 14, 2024 ~ auditecinfo ~ 1 Comment

Until the Auditory Fusion Test-Revised© was released, one aspect of temporal (central) processing, gap detection (temporal resolution), had been generally ignored. The Auditory Fusion Test–Revised© (AFT-R) was produced in response to the ASHA task force position statement on central auditory processing to fill this void. AFT-R is an easily administered and efficient test for identifying temporal processing deficits including problems with temporal resolution and gap detection. AFT-R has the distinct advantage of being a non-linguistic measure, making linguistic background irrelevant in interpretation of results. Normative data are included in the manual. Administration time is less than 20 minutes.

The Auditory Fusion Test-Revised© includes a) audio recording, and b) instructions and score form as printable pdf files.
