Description

The QuickSIN-TR is a speech test that quickly measures difficulty understanding speech in noise as signal-to-noise ratio loss (SNR loss). Each list contains six sentences written for Turkish phonology, each with five key words; sentences are presented in multi-talker babble from 25 dB to 0 dB SNR in 5 dB steps. SNR loss is calculated from the number of key words repeated correctly (SNR loss = 28 − correct words), and one list takes about a minute. The Turkish version provides nine equivalent test lists and two practice lists.

Measured Properties

Speech understanding in noise: SNR50 and SNR loss

Target Population

Adults whose native language is Turkish; validation was carried out in adults with typical hearing and adults with bilateral symmetric sensorineural hearing loss. It can support amplification planning for hearing aid and cochlear implant users.
