Abstract
Word discrimination scores for 24 sensori‐neural heating‐impaired subjects obtained on the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), Oklahoma University Closed‐Response Test (OUCRT), and the California Consonant Test (CCT) were compared. The three word lists were recorded by a male speaker with general American English dialect. The lists were presented monaurally at most comfortable loudness level under four listening conditions: lowband (100–1500 Hz), highband (2000–6000 Hz), speech‐in‐noise (S/N ratio = 0 dB), and wideband (100–6000 Hz). The subjects scored highest (81.8%‐54.6%) on the MRT and lowest (71.9%‐40.4%) on the CCT across the conditions employed. Implication of these results in the assessment of speech discrimination skills of the hearing impaired will be presented.
