The Swedish hearing in noise test for children, HINT-C

A Swedish version of the Hearing In Noise Test (HINT) for measurement of speech recognition.

A Swedish Hearing In Noise Test (HINT), consisting of everyday sentences to be used in an adaptive procedure to estimate the speech recognition thresholds in noise and quiet, has been developed. The material consists of 250 sentences, with a length of five to nine syllables, normalized for naturalness, difficulty and reliability. The sentences were recorded with a female speaker. From the sente...

Utterance Verification for Automating the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT)

Tests of speech intelligibility play an essential role in many audiological procedures, including diagnostic assessment, verification of hearing aid and cochlear implant fittings, outcome assessment following intervention, and screening of applicants for hearing-critical jobs. The Hearing In Noise Test (HINT) [1] is a speech intelligibility test commonly used for these purposes. A limitation of...

Adaptation of the HINT (hearing in noise test) for adult Canadian Francophone populations.

The HINT provides an efficient and reliable method of assessing speech intelligibility in quiet and in noise by using an adaptive strategy to measure speech reception thresholds for sentences, thus avoiding ceiling and floor effects that plague traditional measures performed at fixed presentation levels A strong need for such a test within the Canadian Francophone population, led us to develop ...

Comparison of Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) Scores Using Three Different Transducers

Development of a flexible, realistic hearing in noise test environment (R-HINT-E)

Through the use of DSP chips and multiple microphones, hearing aids now o2er the possibility of performing signal-to-noise enhancement. Evaluating di2erent algorithms before they are instantiated on a hearing aid is essential. However, commercially available tests of hearing in noise do not allow for speech perception evaluation with a variety of signals, noise types, signal and noise locations...
