Abstract
The relationships between consonant recognition performance and subjective ratings (using continuous discourse and nonsense syllables as stimuli) of speech understanding, listening comfort, quality, noise interference and overall liking were examined in quiet and in noise using hearing-impaired subjects and seven different hearing aids. Correlations among the subjective scales varied depending on test conditions and test stimuli. Scores on the speech understanding and overall liking scales correlated moderately with scores on a consonant-recognition test presented in noise and when syllables were used as the materials for judgments. The overall liking scale (for a hearing aid) correlated with all other subjective scales and consonant recognition performance. However, the relative contribution of each subjective scale to overall liking varied depending on test conditions and test materials.
