DESCRIPTION:
Word recognition testing is used to estimate the effects of hearing impairment on communication, risk for disease, and interventional outcomes. This presentation will review improvements in disease detection and outcomes using the speech transmission index and test variability measurements. New data will be presented to show how word recognition test methods improve clinical decision making.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe and Gardener Robinson and AAO hearing measurement system for retrocochlear tumor outcome classification.
- Discuss how norm references classifications of word recognition performance (excellent, good, fair, poor) can be unreliable as descriptors of communication performance.
- Describe how this study shows when word recognition performance independently predicts retrocochlear tumor risk.
