Abstract

We found a method based on analysis of the pattern of recognition (discrimination) to predict the intelligibility of monosyllables in the speech audiogram from the hearing loss values of the tone audiogram. A pattern of recognition (discrimination) function is required for every monosyllable at every intensity level of the test. The great number of functions (8 X 200) (i.e. 1600 functions) involved requires the accommodation capacity of a computer installed at the place of work.
