ABSTRACT:
An improved method and system for performing speech reception threshold testing includes calibrating one or more recorded spoken words to have substantially the same sound energy and presenting the one or more calibrated recorded spoken words to a test subject. A speech reception threshold of the test subject is measured by utilizing the one or more calibrated recorded spoken words wherein the speech reception threshold measured is indicative of a sound level at which the test subject can recognize the presented recorded spoken word or words.
