Speech-in-noise tests, conducted by hearing care professionals, are specialised assessments designed to evaluate an individual’s ability to understand speech within noisy environments. These tests come in various types, each tailored to assess how different auditory conditions affect speech comprehension against background noise. They play a crucial role in the diagnostic process, representing the cost of precision in understanding the unique hearing challenges faced by individuals.
Speech-in-noise tests, such as the QuickSIN, are important as they play a crucial role in audiology by assessing a person’s ability to process speech in noisy conditions. They are vital for identifying auditory challenges in real-world settings like busy streets or crowded rooms. This testing procedure is key in developing tailored hearing care plans, addressing individual needs and helping overcome communication barriers in various noisy environments.
Consider scheduling a speech-in-noise consultation with a hearing care professional for a comprehensive understanding of your hearing capabilities in noisy situations.
Speech Reception Threshold: Measures the minimum level at which a person can hear, understand, and repeat 50% of speech material.
Speech Discrimination Scores: Assesses a patient’s ability to understand speech at an easily audible level, scored by the percentage of correctly identified words.
Speech-in-Noise (SIN) Tests: Specialised assessments like BKB-SIN (Bamford-Kowal-Bench) and QuickSIN, evaluate a person’s ability to understand speech in noisy or background sound environments, reflecting real-world conditions.

I highly recommend anyone who wants to get a good hearing device to head to Listening Lab (LL) as it has the expertise, experience and technology to give you a good hearing fit. I have very good experience with Bloom and its successor, Listening Lab, which has been reorganised with up to date technology. I have been wearing hearing devices for the last 15 plus years, but have wonderful, close to human ears experience for the last 8 years or so when under the care of Bloom/LL.

To start, I have nothing but praise and gratefulness to Ms Vina Ang for attending to the charging device and the buzzing sound on the right hearing aid. She not only diagnosed the problems superbly. She was patiently explaining the causes of the issues. Especially, the buzzing issue which was due to blockage and infection of my right ear. As to the malfunction of the charger, she traced it to the defect of my charging cable. And she replaced my faulty cable with a new one without charge. I really cannot asked for more. Thanks to the after sale service of your company and your audiologist. The services which your people have accorded to me was exemplary.
