8、an Standard can be seen in the number of the IEC document. Example: For instance, IEC 60068 has been adopted by CENELEC as European Standard EN 60068, which in turn has been published in Germany as DIN EN 60068. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN ISO 8253-3:1998-10 as follows: a) Clause 3
9、“Terms and definitions” has been revised; b) Subclause 3.16 “reference recording of speech material” (master recording) has been redefined; c) Subclauses 4.8 “Phonemic balance across test lists” and 4.9 “Perceptual balance across test lists” have been added; d) specifications relating to the validat
10、ion of speech material recordings have been added (Clause 5), for example 5.2 “Determination of reference speech recognition curve”, 5.3 “Determination of perceptual equivalence of test lists” and 5.4 “Determination of repeatability of results (average test-retest reliability)”; e) specifications re

31、sessment of hearing in connection with diagnostic evaluation and audiological rehabilitation.The results of speech audiometry depend on the speech material and test method used. This part of ISO 8253 sets conditions for speech materials in order to assure minimum requirements of precision and compar
32、ability between different tests using different speech materials including materials in different languages. It also specifies procedures to be used when testing speech recognition.DIN EN ISO 8253-3:2012-08 EN ISO 8253-3:2012 (E) 5 1 ScopeThis part of ISO 8253 specifies basic methods for speech reco
33、gnition tests for audiological applications.In order to ensure minimum requirements of precision and comparability between different test procedures including speech recognition tests in different languages, this part of ISO 8253 specifies requirements for the composition, validation and evaluation
34、of speech test materials, and the realization of speech recognition tests. This part of ISO 8253 does not specify the contents of the speech material because of the variety of languages.Furthermore, this part of ISO 8253 also specifies the determination of reference values and fulfilment requirement
35、s for the realization and manner of presentation.This part of ISO 8253 specifies procedures and requirements for speech audiometry with the recorded test material being presented by air conduction through an earphone, or from a loudspeaker for sound field audiometry. Methods for using noise either f
36、or masking the non-test ear or as a competing sound are described.Some test subjects, for example children, can require amended test procedures not specified in this part of ISO 8253.Specialized tests such as those used for evaluating directional hearing and dichotic hearing are outside the scope of
