The Canadian Digit Triplet Test was developed in English and French, the official languages of Canada. Four versions were developed on a common software platform using recordings produced by two fluent bilinguals, one male and one female, following procedures recommended by international guidelines. Phase I of test development focused on homogenizing digit recognition across tokens and positions within the triplets for young adults with normal hearing (n = 48). In phase II, normative data were collected for young adults with normal hearing (n = 64). Statistical properties were found to be uniform across test versions and comparable to digit triplet tests in other languages.

Objective: This study evaluates the feasibility of reducing in-person appointments by utilizing Remote Check (RC) in pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients and investigates the most suitable age range for implementing RC.
Methods: Fifty-eight pediatric CI recipients, aged 1-17 years, were evaluated using a web-based RC application by audiologists. Most (84.

Objective: To develop a methodologically uniform digits-in-noise (DIN) test in 17 different languages.
Design: The DIN test was developed for Android devices as an extension to the open-access Hearing Test app, available on the Google Play store. It utilised professionally recorded female speech, speech-shaped noise, a digit scoring method and a variable step size.

Objective: Developments in smartphone technology and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the feasibility and need for remote, but reliable hearing tests. Previous studies used remote testing but did not directly compare results in the same listeners with standard lab or clinic testing. This study investigated validity and reliability of remote, self-administered digits-in-noise (remote-DIN) compared with lab-based, supervised (lab-DIN) testing.

Objectives: In clinical and laboratory settings, speech recognition is typically assessed in a way that cannot distinguish accurate auditory perception from misperception that was mentally repaired or inferred from context. Previous work showed that the process of repairing misperceptions elicits greater listening effort, and that this elevated effort lingers well after the sentence is heard. That result suggests that cognitive repair strategies might appear successful when testing a single utterance but fail for everyday continuous conversational speech.
