Abstract
The relation between rated intelligibility and correct key word repetitions of sentences was examined in listeners with normal hearing and listeners with hearing loss. Ten lists of 10 CID sentences were arranged in two randomly ordered groups. Listeners were asked to complete two tasks: (1) rate the intelligibility of 50 sentences on a scale of 0 to 100%, and (2) repeat each of the 50 sentences, which were scored as the number of key words repeated correctly. Sentences were presented at five signal-to-noise ratios. The start level for sentence presentation was established using the method of adjustment and the Revised Speech Intelligibility Rating passages. Correlations of rated intelligibility and correct repetition were 0.85 for listeners with normal hearing and 0.86 for listeners with hearing loss. This study confirms the earlier work of Speaks, Parker, Harris, and Kuhl (1972), and the findings demonstrate that listeners with hearing loss preserve the ability to rate the intelligibility of speech.
