Abstract
This overview focused on a number of factors that must be considered when measuring speech intelligibility in noise. In addressing each factor, a number of considerations and assumptions must be made. This paper attempts to identify each of the considerations and assumptions underlying the HINT. By so doing, the user is made aware of the strengths and limitations of this approach to the assessment of speech intelligibility in noise. In the following short reports, relevant details about the development and normalization of the HINT materials in each language are provided. Ongoing research with additional languages is expected to produce new HINT materials with measurement characteristics similar to those described herein. © 2008 British Society of Audiology, International Society of Audiology, and Nordic Audiological Society.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
