title: Speech in noise: a practical test procedure.
abstract: A simple and effective speech in noise test is described with clinical findings for patients with normal hearing, cochlear and retrocochlear pathologies and auditory dysacusis. The test utilizes material readily available in Audiology and ENT Departments. It was possible to obtain useful diagnostic information in patients who complain of hearing loss, but who demonstrate normal audiometric thresholds and normal speech in quiet discrimination.
