Polish sentence tests for measuring the intelligibility of speech in interfering noise.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to develop Polish sentence tests for accurate measuring of speech intelligibility in masking interfering noise. Two sets of sentence lists have been developed. The first set was composed of 25 lists and was used for sentence intelligibility scoring. The second set was composed of 22 lists and was used for word intelligibility scoring. The lists in each set have been phonemically and statistically balanced. The speech reception threshold (SRT) and slope of the psychometric function at the SRT point (S(50)) were determined in normal-hearing subjects. It was found that the mean SRT and mean list-specific S(50list) for the first set were equal to -6.1 dB and 25.5%/dB, respectively. The mean SRT and the mean list-specific S(50list) for the second set were:-7.5 dB and 20.8%/dB. Due to a relatively steep slope of the psychometric functions, the Polish sentence tests were shown to be accurate materials for speech intelligibility measurements against interfering noise. They are the first sentence speech-in-noise tests developed for Slavonic languages.
