Abstract

The Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test, a quick and language-independent tool for assessing speech-in-noise ability, is designed to provide insights into auditory performance beyond traditional audiometric tests. New clinical tests or methods may hold great promise, but their implementation in a busy clinical setting can be challenging. These challenges include time constraints, ease of use, interpretation, and applicability to complex and diverse patient populations. In this article, we share our experiences with the implementation of the new Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test—our first 100 patients—in a busy audiology clinic at a large multicenter healthcare system.
