Speech Intelligibility Testing with the Modified Rhyme Test in Aviation Type Noise

Abstract

Twenty-eight young adult male subjects listened to several versions of the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) at three different S/N ratios and three levels of background noise. The average percent correct data were evaluated in terms of ear receiving signals, noise level, and S/N ratio. The data Indicate an appropriateness of the MRT paradigm for evaluating the auditory capabilities of military personnel. The lack of talker differences provides a large family of test lists for the purpose of such evaluations. However, close attention should be given to the presentation level of the lists.
