Extending an Established Speech Recognition Threshold Procedure for Use in Noise: An Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT Purpose: This exploratory study examined whether an established clinical procedure for determining speech recognition thresholds in quiet, as outlined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (1988), could be extended to a competing-noise condition using existing recorded speech materials. The objectives were to determine whether the resulting speech recognition thresholds in noise (SRTinNs) were broadly consistent with findings from established speech-in-noise measures and to examine their associations with pure-tone thresholds. Methods: Twenty-five adults participated in
