Acoustics - Audiometric test methods - Part 3: Speech audiometry (ISO 8253-3:2012); German version EN ISO 8253-3:2012
Akustik - Audiometrische Prüfverfahren - Teil 3: Sprachaudiometrie (ISO 8253-3:2012); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 8253-3:2012
Overview
Speech audiometry is used for the assessment of hearing in connection with diagnostic evaluation and audiological rehabilitation. In order to ensure minimum requirements of precision and comparability between different test procedures including speech recognition tests in different languages, this part of ISO 8253 specifies requirements for the composition, validation and evaluation of speech test materials, and the realization of speech recognition tests. This part of ISO 8253 does not specify the contents of the speech material because of the variety of languages. This part of ISO 8253 describes basic methods for speech recognition tests for audiological applications. The responsible committee is GUK 821.6 "Hörgeräte und audiometrische Messtechnik" ("Hearing aids and audiometric measurements") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
