Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how subjective speech intelligibility influences noise acceptance decisions in young normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners, using the Noise-Tolerance Domains Test (NTDT).
- Researchers utilized a single-blind design with 22 normal-hearing and 17 hearing-impaired older adults, administering various tests to establish noise acceptance thresholds and intelligibility levels.
- Three linear mixed effects models revealed that noise-tolerance ratings were significantly impacted by factors such as domain criteria, subjective intelligibility, and speech input levels, with higher priority given to speech interference and loudness in noisier conditions.

Objective: To determine the reliability and validity of the Quick Repeat-Recall Test (Q-RRT).
Design: Within-subject repeated measures. Participants completed the Q-RRT at a speech level of 75 dB SPL in 2 noise configurations at signal-to-noise ratios of 5, 10, and 15 dB in a counterbalanced order, along with the full-RRT.
Objective: To gather preliminary reference data on older normal-hearing (NH) adults for the refined Tracking of Noise Tolerance (TNT) test.
Design: Within-subject repeated measures. Participants were tested on the TNT in the sound-field and under headphones.
