Digits-In-Noise Hearing Test Using Text-to-Speech and Automatic Speech Recognition: Proof-of-Concept Study.

ABSTRACT: This proof-of-concept study evaluated the implementation of a digits-in-noise test we call the 'AI-powered test' that used text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). Two other digits-in-noise tests formed the baselines for comparison: the 'keyboard-based test' which used the same configurations as the AI-powered test, and the 'independent test', a third-party-sourced test not modified by us. The validity of the AI-powered test was evaluated by measuring its difference from the independent test and comparing it with the baseline, which was the difference between the Keyboard-based test and the Independent test. The reliability of the AI-powered test was measured by comparing the similarity of two runs of this test and the Independent test. The study involved 31 participant
