Clinical Adaptation of the Minimum Speech Test Battery–Version 3
The MSTB-3 has facilitated greater consistency in CI evaluation and follow-up care, addressing historical variability in clinical practices. Its evidence-based approach, including streamlined test protocols and user-friendly tools, offers a framework for improved CI access and standardization. Further training and dissemination efforts are recommended to enhance clinicians' understanding and to address implementation challenges, ultimately advancing the quality of CI services and reducing disparities in care.
