Evaluating the user-operated audible contrast threshold test as a language-independent proxy of speech-in-noise perception
U-ACT is a reliable user-operated test that serves as an effective proxy for speech-in-noise perception. As an automated, language-independent measure of supra-threshold hearing ability, U-ACT can be implemented in audiology clinics to improve efficiency and support personalised hearing rehabilitation.
