Abstract

[...]previous studies indicate that PTA may be unsuitable for deciding the ability of an individual to perform the job satisfactorily because the ability to recognize speech in steady-state noise cannot be predicted with an audiogram. [...]in this study, we aimed to develop a set of speech audiometry materials that is specifically designed for civilian pilots as a functional additional AFFD test for CAAC. [...]the stimuli in this study were based entirely on hearing critical tasks pertaining to radiotelephony communications. In view of the actual application situation of the Mandarin radiotelephony language in China, the content of the speech corpus should include the standard radiotelephony phraseologies required for each normal in-flight phase as well as unusual situations. [...]the following four classic Mandarin radiotelephony communications textbooks were finally selected: (1) International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Radiotelephony Communication; (2) Radiotelephony Communication Course (second edition); (3) 900 Sentences of Pilot English Proficiency Examination of China; and (4) Guidance on Radiotelephony Communications Under Unusual/Emergency Situations. [...]20 sentence lists were developed, each list included 20 sentences with 100 keywords [Supplementary Table 1, http://links.lww.com/CM9/A110].
