Abstract

To date, there has been no validated speech-reading test available for the French-Canadian population. In the context of rehabilitative services for persons with noise-induced hearing loss, it was felt necessary to develop and validate a speech-reading screening test. Thirty young adults having normal hearing bilaterally and good vision underwent the test. It involved a familiarization list and two lists of 25 independent sentences each. The validation concerned mainly the internal consistency and the equivalence of the lists. Two lists satisfying these criteria are proposed.
