Abstract
Background: Development of Arabic QuickSIN established after the need to speech in noise test using was elevated in the last decade. Objective: The purpose of this study was to Develop and standardize Arabic QuickSIN test that measures the signal-to-noise ratio loss. Patients and Methods: 300 Sentences have words that are not highly predictable from the surrounding context. These sentences were recorded by female talker, presented in four-talker babble in three experiments. Study sample: Fifty normal hearing subjects between the ages of 18-40 years. Results: In the first two experiments, the level of a female talker relative to that of four-talker babble was adjusted sentence by sentence to produce 50% correct scores. In experiment III, those sentences-in-babble that produced either lack of equivalence or high across-subject variability in scores were discarded. These experiments produced 10 equivalent lists, each list consists of six sentences, with one sentence at each signal-to-noise ratio of 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 decibels. Conclusion: A single QuickSIN list takes approximately one minute to administer and provides an estimate of SNR loss.
