HINT Score — Hearing in Noise Test

Assesses speech reception threshold in noise (SRTN) using the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which a listener correctly repeats 50% of sentences. Normal HINT score approximately 0 dB SNR. Higher (more positive) scores indicate worse performance in noise.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Assesses speech reception threshold in noise (SRTN) using the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which a listener correctly repeats 50% of sentences. Normal HINT score approximately 0 dB SNR. Higher (more positive) scores indicate worse performance in noise

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Hearing in Noise Test — The hearing in noise test recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the hint hearing score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Hearing in Noise Test for the scenario you are assessing. Assesses speech reception threshold in noise (SRTN) using the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which a listener correctly repeats 50% of sentences. Normal HINT score approximately 0 dB SNR. Higher (more positive) scores indicate worse performance in noise. Use the hint hearing score result to inform your calculation.
