QuickSIN Speech-In-Noise Test - Digital Download

Product Code: CD-106D

  • NOTE* This is the QuickSIN Digital Download version
  • Speech-in-noise test that quickly and easily measures the ability to hear in noise
  • Quick and easy to administer and score
  • Results can be used to make specific treatment recommendations (e.g., hearing aids, directional microphones, array microphones, FM systems)
  • Useful for counseling patients regarding realistic expectations
  • High face validity; patients report that QuickSIN lists sound just like the problem they have in the real world
  • The QuickSIN cd contains lists of 6 sentences presented in noise (4-talker babble) that can be used to determine SNR Loss (signal-to-noise ratio loss)
  • The sentences are presented at pre-recorded signal-to-noise rations and decrease in 5-dB steps from 25 (very easy) to 0 (extremely difficult)
  • SNRs used are: 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 -- encompassing normal to severely impaired performance in noise
  • Each list takes about one minute to administer and the 8 blocks of recordings on the CD are listed under "What's In the Box" tab
  • Available in CD form (item CD-106) or via Digital Download in .WAV or .MP3 file format (item CD-106D)
  • BKB-SIN test used to estimate SNR loss in children and adults for whom the QuickSIN is too difficult is also available (item CD-106BK)
  • (1) Quick Speech-In-Noise Test CD/Digital Download containing:
    • 12 standard equivalent lists - for basic SNR Loss testing
    • 3 pairs of standard lists - additional list pairs for research
    • 3 practice lists (not equivalent to lists 1-12) - for practice only
    • 12 lists with speech on channel 1 and constant-level babble on channel 2 (separated) - to demonstrate directional microphone effectiveness
    • 12 lists of recorded with 30 dB high frequency emphasis (HFE) - for use with ski-slope losses
    • 2 pairs of HFE lists - additional list pairs for research
    • 12 lists recorded with 30 db HFE and low pass filtering (HFE-LP) - for use in combination with the HFE lists to determine whether hearing aids with extended HFE will help or degrade speech intelligibility in noise
    • 2 pairs of HFE-LP filtered lists - additional list pairs for research
