Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

A behavioral audiometric test where the patient repeats a list of standardized monosyllabic words presented at a comfortable volume.

Purpose

To determine the clarity of speech perception and the percentage of words correctly identified.

Area Covered

The auditory processing capability of the inner ear and central auditory pathway.

Key Clinical Point

Helps predict the potential benefit a patient will receive from a hearing aid; a low score may indicate nerve-related hearing loss.

You will listen to a list of standardized words through headphones and repeat them back to the audiologist.

This specific test is usually done in a quiet booth to find your "best possible" understanding score.
