speech test

Spoken language exam

A speech test evaluates how well someone can hear and understand spoken words, typically administered by an audiologist.

The listener repeats words or sentences played at varying volumes to measure speech recognition ability.

Speech tests complement pure-tone hearing tests by assessing real-world comprehension: The speech test showed she could hear tones but struggled to distinguish words.
