Arabic Speech Audiomentry

Phonetically balanced monosyllabic word lists have been constructed from classical (literary) Arabic. These readily afford a means of determining speech hearing ability for Arabic-speaking subjects. The normal speech audiometric curve obtained on normally curve obtained with English monosyllabic word lists on English-speaking subjects. The threshold of intelligibility for this Arabic test material was also found to be similar to English monosyllabic word lists presented over the same speech audiometric equipmentThe form of the speech audiometric curve is that of a cumulative distribution and this feature makes the presentation of the data on arithmetical probability Paper convenient. Consideration of other reports showes that an ogive function for normal speech audiometic curves is of general application
