Abstract
Background: Garhwali is spoken by people in Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Tehri Garhwal, Pauri Garhwal, Dehradun, Rudraprayag, and Haridwar districts of Uttarakhand, India. Aims and Objectives: The present study focused on the development of spondee words in Garhwali language. Materials and Methods: The final spondee word list included 50 words. A total of 30 adults were participated in the present study. The test started with obtaining thresholds of AC and BC between the frequencies 250 and 8 KHz of the individual. Results: The mean pure tone average for frequencies 500 Hz, 1 KHz, 2 KHz, and 4 KHz was 10.46 dBHL, then the spondee word list was presented at the level of 20 dBSL. The speech recognition threshold (SRT) mean threshold was 11 dBHL. Conclusion: This study provided evidence on the quality of being especially suitable for paired words for testing SRT in Garhwali people. This test material can be used in selecting appropriate rehabilitative options and also to measure the efficacy of different rehabilitative devices.
