Abstract

Speech audiometry is an important element in the battery of audiometric tests.
Speech tests need to be standardized on the population to be tested. Speech tests
in Indian languages are at present being made up. However, as an interim measure
the standardized tests in English are used with English-knowing Indians. However
pilot studies (Nikam, 1968) have indicated that the available tests may not be
wholly suitable to Indian population because many words in the test are unfamiliar
to us and this can affect performance. Here an attempt is to be made to modify the
existing speech tests, to suit our conditions. The proposed study is "the development
and standardization of speech tests in English for Indian population".
