- Abstract
The Test de Phrases dans le Bruit, which consists of five French lists of 40 recorded sentences and a speech babble, was developed for use in evaluating speech perception in noise. The development of the sentence material was based on an approach that had previously been employed for the Speech Perception In Noise test. The key word familiarity of the sentences was tested, as well as the intelligibility in noise. Measures were also performed to obtain equivalent difference of scores between the high and low predictability sentences across the lists. Based on the results obtained with a subset of adult participants, it is believed that the sentence list sets that evolved from this work have the characteristics to be useful for the exploration of the underlying auditory and/or language-based origins of speech perception problems in noise among the Canadian French population. However, the present findings should be interpreted with caution as only individuals with normal hearing function participated in the experiments. The results may not apply to individuals with speech perception problems in noise. Additional evaluations of the psychometric properties of the test must be performed before its clinical application. Nevertheless, these preliminary findings suggest that further development of the Test de Phrases dans le Bruit is warranted.
