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.

Development of Digit in Noise Test in Hindi.

August 2024

Statistics department, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study introduces the Digit in Noise test in Hindi (DIN-H), aiming to provide a quick and effective hearing screening tool for the Hindi-speaking population in India, addressing a shortage of hearing health professionals and resources.
  • - By recording and presenting digit triplets with noise to normal hearing subjects, the test was developed and validated, showing promising results in terms of speech recognition thresholds and consistency across trials.
  • - The findings suggest that DIN-H is a reliable tool for large-scale auditory system assessments, achieving a cut-off score of -5.6 dB for effective screening among the target population.

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.
