COURSE ABSTRACT:

The Quick-RRT (Repeat-Recall Test) is a 6-minute clinical tool that highlights the difference between audiologist-driven care and non-professional care. It measures the speech-in-noise ability, working memory, listening effort and willingness to stay in noise of the listeners. The tool may be administered unaided to establish baseline and aided to demonstrate efficacy of intervention. We will review its applications and update the audience on recent research findings on the test. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • List the information that is available from performing the Quick RRT
  • List three applications of the Quick RRT
  • List the correlations between measures on the Q-RRT and external equivalent measures
