Brief Summary

An open-set sentence speech recognition in noise test in Cantonese Chinese, which is applicable on children and adults with hearing impairment, is proposed to be developed in this project.

Conditions

Hearing Loss

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Person Ability of Participants in Sentence Recognition in Noise

  In accordance with Item Response Theory, the ability of individual participants in sentence recognition in noise, measured by the proposed new test, is generated through Rasch modelling or other relevant models.

  up to 1 month

• Item Difficulty of Test Items in Sentence Recognition in Noise

  In accordance with Item Response Theory, the difficulty of individual proposed test items in sentence recognition in noise, contributed by all participants, is generated through Rasch modelling or other relevant models.

  up to 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Internal Consistency of Test Items

  up to 3 years

• Rater Reliability of Test Items

  up to 1 month

• Test-Retest Reliability of Test Items

  up to 1 month

• Content-related Evidence of Validity of Test Items

  up to 3 years

• Construct-related Evidence of Validity of Test Items

  up to 3 years

Other Outcomes (1)

• A New Sentence Recognition in Noise Test Tool Titled CanSRINT

  up to 4 years
