Clinical Assessment of Functional Hearing Deficits: Speech-in-Noise Performance

Conclusions:
A test that measures speech recognition in the presence of a spatially separated competing talker would be useful in measuring suprathreshold speech-in-noise deficits that cannot be readily predicted from standard audiometric evaluation. Including such a test can likely reduce the gap between patient complaints and their clinical evaluation.
