Objective
To edit the sentence list for mandarin speech test materials (MSTM) and to test their equivalence in order to use the list as routine clinical speech tests for evaluation of cochlear implants and hearing aids in different stages of the intervention and rehabilitation.
Methods
Firstly, two groups of professionals were set up : one for establishing the principles of the edit, another for experiments. The criteria to guide the selection of spoken sentences were as following:①suitable for everyday speech audiometry, esp. clinically usage;② a normal sampling of everyday spoken sentences in mandarin. Totally, 300 sentences were selected in 30 lists for the experiment. The record cassette was used by a male speaker. The college students (54 persons, 54 ears) with normal hearing participated in the equivalence test. Two statistic methods were used for equivalence analysis.
Results
Through speech tests and statistic analysis, 2 sets with 29 lists (290 sentences) were selected as our equivalent lists for further evaluation and clinical trial.
Conclusions
By setting up the strict criteria of selecting sentences, speech test method and statistic analysis, 2 sets of 29 lists (290) sentences were chosen as our speech evaluation materials, but it was necessary for further analysis in different laboratories and clinics. The sentence lists should also get used for hearing impaired subjects, hearing aid users and cochlear implant recipients.

Mandarin Chinese speech recognition by pediatric cochlear implant users
Meimei Zhu,Qian-Jie Fu,John J. Galvin,Ye Jiang,Jianghong Xu,Chen-mei Xu,Duo-Duo Tao,Bing Chen +7 more
TL;DR: Pediatric CI performance was generally quite good for the relatively difficult materials and tasks, suggesting that open-set word and sentence recognition may be useful in evaluating speech performance with older pediatric CI users.

Impact of cochlear implantation on the management strategy of patients with neurofibromatosis type 2
TL;DR: CI is an effective option in auditory rehabilitation and should be considered primarily for NF2 patients with intact cochlear nerve and EPS might be a predictor for co chlear implant performance.

Age-sensitive associations of segmental and suprasegmental perception with sentence-level language skills in Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants
TL;DR: Overall, segmental and suprasegmental perception as well as sentence-level processing is impaired in Mandarin-speaking children with CIs compared with age-matched children with NH, suggesting that age-appropriate aural rehabilitation and speech intervention programs need to be developed in order to better help CI users who receive CIs at different ages.

TL;DR: The LISTENT LCI-20PI provided accredited hearing rehabilitation with a short insertion depth and full insertion into the ST was associated with better cochlear implantation outcomes.

A review of Mandarin speech recognition test materials for use in Singapore.
TL;DR: None of the currently available materials contain word lists that can be readily adapted for re-recording with the voice of a Singapore Mandarin speaker, and there is a need to develop original Singapore Mandarin speech recognition test materials.
