This is a simple procedure to measure how clearly you understand speech. You listen to and then repeat a series of two syllable words at decreasing intensity levels. This procedure results in determining your speech reception threshold. You will repeat a similar procedure with single syllable words presented at a higher intensity level in quiet. Some healthcare professionals will also conduct an evaluation designed to measure your ability to distinguish speech in the presence of competing noise.
