AZ Bio Sentences<br />

(Dorman and Spahr, 2004)<br />

Description: <strong>The</strong> AzBio Sentence Lists were created at Arizona State University<br />

and evaluate speech understanding. <strong>The</strong> sentence materials are available on<br />

an audio CD designed specifically <strong>for</strong> use with a clinical audiometer. Each CD<br />

contains 15 lists of 20 sentences, a soundfield calibration noise, and a 1000 Hz<br />

calibration tone. A 10-talker babble noise runs continuously on the second track<br />

of the CD. Score sheets are available <strong>for</strong> download as a printable pdf or as an<br />

Excel spreadsheet that allows inclusion of in<strong>for</strong>mation such as patient<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation, sentence scores, and notes. <strong>The</strong> Excel version will automatically<br />

calculate percent correct scores.<br />

Bam<strong>for</strong>d-Kowal-Bench Sentence In Noise <strong>Test</strong> (BKB-SIN)<br />

(Etymotic Research, 2005)<br />

Description: <strong>The</strong> BKB-SIN uses 18 equivalent list pairs <strong>for</strong> estimating SNR loss.<br />

CD 1 (Standard BKB-SIN) has the target talker and background babble<br />

recorded on the same channel of the CD, at pre-recorded signal-to-noise ratios.<br />

CD 2 (Split Track BKB-SIN) has the target talker and background babble<br />

recorded on separate channels of the CD. <strong>The</strong> BKB-SIN features Bam<strong>for</strong>d-Kowal-<br />

Bench sentences in four talker babble, uses less complex sentences than the<br />

QuickSIN, and has norms <strong>for</strong> children, adults, and cochlear implant users.<br />
