Effect of Speech Material and Scoring Method on Psychometric Curves for Cochlear Implant Users and Typical Hearing Listeners
The DIN test stood out in this study as an attractive speech-in-noise test for CI users, with steep slopes and low variance in slopes and SRTs among participants. Digit and keyword scoring appear to be viable options for the DIN test and LIST sentences, respectively, potentially increasing the number of available test items. For the Matrix test, sentence scoring yielded shallow slopes and deteriorated SI, especially for the CI group. We recommend word scoring for the Dutch-Flemish Matrix test.
