NOTE* This is the QuickSIN Digital Download version
Speech-in-noise test that quickly and easily measures the ability to hear in noise
Quick and easy to administer and score
Results can be used to make specific treatment recommendations (e.g., hearing aids, directional microphones, array microphones, FM systems)
Useful for counseling patients regarding realistic expectations
High face validity; patients report that QuickSIN lists sound just like the problem they have in the real world
The QuickSIN cd contains lists of 6 sentences presented in noise (4-talker babble) that can be used to determine SNR Loss (signal-to-noise ratio loss)
The sentences are presented at pre-recorded signal-to-noise rations and decrease in 5-dB steps from 25 (very easy) to 0 (extremely difficult)
SNRs used are: 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 -- encompassing normal to severely impaired performance in noise
Each list takes about one minute to administer and the 8 blocks of recordings on the CD are listed under "What's In the Box" tab
Available in CD form (item CD-106) or via Digital Download in .WAV or .MP3 file format (item CD-106D)
BKB-SIN test used to estimate SNR loss in children and adults for whom the QuickSIN is too difficult is also available (item CD-106BK)
