title: Evaluation of a new tape recording of the synthetic sentence identification test.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to collect normative data on a commercially available tape recording of the Synthetic Sentence Identification test with ipsilateral competing message. Twenty normal-hearing subjects with no history of central auditory dysfunction were used. Mean percentage of intelligibility scores and standard deviations were obtained at various message-competition ratios. Results were compared to previous research. The data obtained using this recording can now be used as a reference for making clinical judgments.
