Audiqueen

Speech Audiometry

The same functionality exists for speech audiometry. Audiqueen can handle all kinds of speech test with phoneme score or word score, with or without confidence intervals. It uses the same symbol set as in audiometry with separate symbols for left/right, for different conduction types, etc.

All graphs can be printed to MS Word, copied to the clipboard and exported to *.auq files. Different speech audiograms can be selected to be shown together on the same audiometric chart. It is possible to have 2 horizontal axes and their values can be defined freely. If normative data for a given speech test are available, Audiqueen calculates the SRT 50 in function of the normal curve.

Audiqueen automatically calculates an index which can be defined in the settings. The featured index is the EaSI (stands for "eargroup speech index", the average phoneme score at 40, 55, 70, 70 and 85 dBSPL), but many different indices can be created.

Data are either entered manually or through a direct connection with your audiometer (click here for a list of supported audiometers). When connected to the Speech Audiometry module of A§E, speech lists from your audio CD or from *.wav files can be read and stored on your computer’s hard drive or in a shared folder in your network. These tests then become available for use in Audiqueen throughout your local network. A typical Audiqueen configuration contains several speech tests.
