L'audiométrie vocale au Québec français

Abstract

A critical review of speech tests intended for French-Canadian adults is undertaken. Special attention is paid to equivalent forms and concurrent validity of existing speech discrimination lists. Current dissyllables used for the determination of speech threshold are scrutinized with regard to their homogeneity. Finally, clinical utility and interpretation of this material are discussed.
