- Objective: To provide guidelines for the development of two types of closed-set speech-perception tests that can be applied and interpreted in the same way across languages. The guidelines cover the digit triplet and the matrix sentence tests that are most commonly used to test speech recognition in noise. They were developed by a working group on Multilingual Speech Tests of the International Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology (ICRA). Design: The recommendations are based on reviews of existing evaluations of the digit triplet and matrix tests as well as on the research experience of members of the ICRA Working Group. They represent the results of a consensus process. Results: The resulting recommendations deal with: Test design and word selection; Talker characteristics; Audio recording and stimulus preparation; Masking noise; Test administration; and Test validation. Conclusions: By following these guidelines for the development of any new test of this kind, clinicians and researchers working in any language will be able to perform tests whose results can be compared and combined in cross-language studies.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Scott-Brown's Otolaryngology is used the world over as the definitive reference for trainee ENT surgeons, audiologists and trainee head and neck surgeons, as well as specialists who need detailed, reliable and authoritative information on all aspects of ear, nose and throat disease and treatment. This new edition has been fully updated by an international team of editors and contributors and is highly illustrated in colour throughout. The majority of the chapters are evidence-based and each contains useful features including key points, best clinical practice guidelines, details of the search strategies used to prepare the material, and suggestions for future research. These features provide quick access to relevant information about clinical conditions, and a starting point for further research. The stand-alone CD-ROM contains the same content as the print edition, is searchable, and has references linked to PubMed. It provides trainee surgeons (ENT and Head and Neck), audiologists and ENT physicians with a more portable version of this extensive reference work, and access to downloadable figures, bookmarking and annotation tools.System requirements: The following are minimum requirements for running the CD-ROM. However, we recommend that you run the CD-ROM on a machine with a 1Gz processor with 500 MB RAM, 1024 by 768 screen resolution, using Firefox as your web browser. The recommended specifications will ensure the CD-ROM runs at optimal speed and performance. PC: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III, 266 MHz processor (or 1 GHz for Vista), Windows(R) 2000, XP, Vista*, Browser: Firefox 2.0; Internet Explorer 6.2 SP1, or 7.0; Netscape 9**, 28 MB RAM (or 1 GB for Vista), 80 MB free hard-disk space, 24x CD-ROM or DVD drive, 800 x 600 screen resolution displaying 32-bit colour, Windows(TM) compatible mouse, Printer (optional), Internet connection (optional)***.

Dynamic relation between working memory capacity and speech recognition in noise during the first six months of hearing aid use

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study aimed to investigate the changing relationship between aided speech recognition and cognitive function during the first six months of hearing aid use. Twentyseven first-time hearing aid users with symmetrical mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss were recruited. Aided speech recognition thresholds in noise (SRTs) were obtained in the hearing aid fitting session as well as at three and six months post-fitting. Cognitive abilities were assessed using a reading span test, which is a measure of working memory capacity, and a cognitive test battery. Results showed a significant correlation between reading span and SRT during the hearing aid fitting session. This relation was significantly weakened over the first six months of hearing aid use. Multiple regression analysis showed that reading span was the main predictor of SRT when hearing aids were first fitted, but that pure-tone average hearing threshold (PTA) was the main predictor six months later. This indicates that working memory capacity plays a more important role in speech recognition in noise before than after six months of use. We argue that new hearing aid users engage working memory capacity to recognize unfamiliar processed speech signals but that as familiarization proceeds, engagement of working memory capacity is reduced.
