Speech audiometry tests your ability to hear soft two-syllable words and louder speech. It helps the audiologist assess your ability to hear and process words in quiet environments.
Speech Reception Threshold (SRT): You’ll listen to two-syllable words and repeat them back, even if they’re soft.
Word Recognition Score (WRS): You’ll listen to a louder sentence and repeat the last word or the sentence. This test helps the audiologist understand your speech awareness and comprehension in quiet, complementing the tone test.
