Abstract

Speech audiometry is essential to audiologists in answering questions regarding a patient’s degree of hearing loss for speech; the levels of comfortable and uncomfortable loudness; the range of comfortable loudness; and, their ability to identify accurately the sounds of speech at suprathreshold levels. Speech audiometry is also used to confirm pure tone test results, to measure the threshold for speech, and to determine amplification benefits.
