QuickSin
QuickSin is a fast, efficient way to assess how well you understand speech in challenging listening environments. Instead of long test batteries, QuickSin delivers clear insights in just a few minutes.
You’ll listen to short sentences presented against background noise and repeat what you hear. As the listening conditions change, the test quickly identifies how much noise affects your speech understanding.
By focusing on real-world listening scenarios, QuickSin provides a practical snapshot of everyday hearing performance, helping guide next steps with speed, clarity, and confidence.
Speech Discrimination (SD)
The Speech Discrimination test works to present different phrases at a consistent, clearly audible decibel level.
You’ll repeat each phrase transmitted through your headphones; unlike the SRT test, the words for these assessments aren’t revealed in advance, and each phrase is unique.
This method evaluates how well you recognize and process speech sounds, a true reflection of how you interact with the world around you.
