Evaluation of simplified Arabic matrix test in children with normal hearing
The study demonstrated an influence of age on the measured word recognition performance in children, highlighting the test's suitability for this population. The reliability of the test was 1.1 dB for 80% threshold and 1.4 dB for 50% threshold. With promising results, this test can be used as a new tool in speech audiometry in audiological diagnostics and management with special focus on modern standard Arabic for children.
