[Recognition function for the Freiburg monosyllabic test in noise with a  signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 5 dB].

CONCLUSION: In comparison to the normative curve, the FBE‑S recognition curve is shifted to the right. The average values of the FBE‑S reach the saturation area at a volume of 70/65 dB with an intelligibility rate of 90% (for comparison: the point of saturation for 100% intelligibility of the FBE without noise is reached at 55 dB). Using these averaged values of the FBE‑S enables better interpretation of individual results without and with hearing aids. In the future, the benefit of hearing aids should be measured at lower noise levels than it is today. PMID: 32390058 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
