Speech Audiometry

Speech Audiometry is a crucial hearing test used to evaluate a person’s ability to detect and recognize speech. This test helps audiologists understand how well a person can hear and process speech at different volume levels, which is essential for diagnosing hearing loss and determining the best course of treatment, including the need for hearing aids.
At SMART Hearing & Child Development Center (SHCDC), located in Madinaguda, we provide comprehensive Speech Audiometry testing for individuals of all ages, especially children. Our team is highly experienced in evaluating speech comprehension and offers personalized treatment options for speech and hearing-related issues.

What is Speech Audiometry?

Speech Audiometry measures two key abilities:
- Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT): The lowest level at which an individual can recognize and repeat words.
- Word Recognition Score (WRS): The percentage of words a person can correctly identify at a comfortable hearing level.

These tests are essential for determining how well an individual can process and understand speech, especially in real-world environments like conversations or background noise.

How Does Speech Audiometry Work?

During the test, the patient is presented with various speech stimuli, either through headphones or in a sound-treated room, and asked to repeat the words or phrases they hear. The audiologist adjusts the volume levels to find the softest level at which the patient can accurately detect and comprehend speech. This information helps determine the degree and type of hearing loss and assists in customizing treatment options.

Who Should Undergo Speech Audiometry?

Speech Audiometry is recommended for:
- Children with delayed speech development or suspected hearing loss
- Individuals struggling to understand speech in noisy environments
- Patients who have difficulty recognizing speech despite normal or near-normal hearing levels
- Those who are being evaluated for hearing aids
