Get Speech Intelligibility Index

Completing the Speech Intelligibility Index is crucial for assessing audio clarity in children. This guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions to help users accurately fill out the required form online.

Follow the steps to complete the Speech Intelligibility Index form effectively.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Speech Intelligibility Index form and open it in your preferred editor.
2. Input the child’s name in the designated field at the top of the form.
3. Enter the test date in the specified area to indicate when the assessment was conducted.
4. Calculate the child's three-frequency pure tone average (PTA) for the frequencies 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz, and record this value.
5. Fit the hearing aid to the Desired Sensation Level (DSL) version 5 child targets, ensuring deviations do not exceed ±5 dB.
6. On panel A, plot the aided Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) value corresponding to the Reference Equivalent Continuous Speech Input Level (REAR) measured with a 55 dB sound pressure level (SPL) speech input, aligning it with the relevant PTA on the X-axis.
7. On panel B, plot the aided SII value associated with the REAR measured with a 65 dB SPL speech input, similarly aligning it with the appropriate PTA on the X-axis.
8. Review the interpretation notes, ensuring the plotted aided SII values align with the confidence intervals indicated by the solid and dashed lines for their respective age group.
9. After completing all fields and plots, save your changes, and choose to download, print, or share the filled form as necessary.
