OLKISA

The Oldenburg Sentence Test for Children (OLKISA) is an audiometric test to determine the speech recognition threshold in quiet or in noise for CI users, children from the age of four, and people with a reduced word span. Simplified sentences of the Oldenburg Sentence Test are used as speech material. The OLKISA thus belongs to the family of simplified matrix tests. The sentences have the form number word - adjective - noun with a random combination from an inventory of a total of 21 words (e.g. "Three green shoes"). The design of the test prevents memorization of the sentences, so OLKISA can be repeated as many times as needed. For this reason, it is particularly well suited for recurring measurements during the fitting of hearing aids or the adjustment of cochlear implants.

• 10 test lists with 7 sets each
• 20 test lists with 14 sets each
• automatic, adaptive level control for measuring speech recognition thresholds
• measurement of speech recognition thresholds between 20% and 80% intelligibility possible
• measurement with continuous noise possible
• measurement with answer input by patient possible

Measurement of speech intelligibility threshold with special target groups

• with children
• with adults with reduced word span
• with CI users
• in studies with many measurement repetitions

• Suitable for different targe groups, such as children due to shortened sentences, CI Users abd people with a reduced word span
• High accuracy
• Repeatable as often as desired
• Measurement at rest or in noise
• Short measurement duration

Under "R&D" you can download the R&D version of the measurement procedure as well as a free 30-day test license. The CE-certified version can be obtained from your audiometer manufacturer.
