Description
Available exclusively through Connevans, the Ewing Foundation SiN Toolkit allows you to use your own device (computer, Android tablet, smartphone etc) to play the pre-recorded sound and includes all of the other equipment needed for you to carry out accurate and repeatable speech in noise tests for pupils of all ages.
Designed specifically with Teachers of the Deaf in mind and developed in partnership between The Ewing Foundation for deaf children and Connevans Limited.
Supplied with updated resources including the Manchester Picture Test with new, modern images; this toolkit is both easy to use and affordable.
The Ewing Foundation SiN Toolkit is intended for use in
real-world school settings rather than as a clinical test. When
used as part of a range of tests, it will provide useful,
measurable and repeatable speech discrimination test results to
inform decisions by professionals regarding the provision for the
child.
Note: it is not intended to replicate or replace clinical test
tools.
This toolkit is supplied with the Manchester Picture Test, Manchester Junior Word List and AB Short Word List plus the required equipment for you to perform these speech tests - apart from your computer, Android tablet, smartphone etc used to play the test sounds.
The tests have been designed to provide measured and repeatable results on a child's ability to hear speech; with or without their hearing instrument/s & radio aid.
The choice of which test to use relates to the child's language level. The outcomes will provide guidance for the management of the child; for example amplification reassessment, referral to other professionals and/or review. Additionally, the sound files include typical classroom 'babble' background noise to allow testing to be repeated in varying noise levels i.e. Speech in Noise (SiN).
Contents of SiN Toolkit
The Ewing Foundation SiN Toolkit is supplied in two easy-to-carry green cases - one containing the main system and one for the two speaker stands. You will need to provide your own device for playing the audio files: most computers or tablets/smartphones would be suitable. You will need sufficient spare memory to be able to copy the sound files from the supplied USB device onto your device. Connecting cables for most devices are included.
Please note, to use the SiN Toolkit with Apple iPhones or iPads, you will need to purchase the Apple Add-On Kit, sold separately.

Details
The Ewing Foundation is a national charity (est
1952), promoting inclusion and achievement for deaf children
through listening and speaking. A team of Audiology & Education
specialists support professionals in acquiring the skills and
confidence needed to help deaf children use their residual hearing,
access technology and develop natural spoken language.
Connevans Limited is a family-run company,
established over 50 years ago, and are specialist manufacturers and
suppliers of equipment for deaf and hard of hearing people.
The Ewing Foundation and Connevans have a long history of collaboration and jointly designing products. Amongst other things, we have worked together on the development of DC Test leads (to allow baseline measurements from CI processors to be made in a hearing aid testbox), the Baha Listener (to allow someone to listen to and test a BAHA) and the Stetoclip attenuator (for safely listening to hearing aids).
About the tests
There are three tests included with the SiN Toolkit: The Manchester Picture Test, the Manchester Junior Word List and the AB Word List. The audio for all three tests can be found on the supplied USB memory stick. All the results sheets are double sided and encapsulated, ready for photocopying.
The choice of which test to use relates to the child's language function.

Manchester Picture Test
36 pages of fully-updated illustrations intended for use with
children whose vocabulary is not mature enough or whose spoken,
signed or written responses are not sufficient to use word lists
reliably.
The test consists of six word lists, each containing six target
words. Each target word is shown amongst four pictured words on
each page, differing in either vowels or consonants, i.e. the test
word, two similar words and one distractor. For example: Van, Flag,
Hand, Watch
Flag is the target word. Watch is the distractor.
The test is carried out ideally at 60dbA SPL, without lipreading, and the child is required to point to the picture indicating the monosyllabic target word. Use the Result Sheet to record the response and score.
A correct response receives a score of 1. Any other responses
score 0. This is a whole word response test and answers are either
right or wrong, however the errors made can give useful information
about which frequency ranges the student is not hearing well.
Manchester Junior Word List
This test is primarily aimed at children with a developmental age
of 6 years or older.
It comprises eight lists of ten target monosyllabic words. Use
the Result Sheet to record the response and score. A correct
response receives a score of 1.
Any other responses score 0. Add up the score at the end of the
list. A score of 10/10 equals results of 100%, 6/10 equals 60%
etc.
This is a whole word response test and answers are either right
or wrong, however the errors made can give useful information about
which frequency ranges the student is not hearing well.
AB Short Word List
This test is primarily used with teenagers and adults - those with
a more developed vocabulary.
As with the Manchester Junior Word List, the AB Short Word List comprises lists of ten target consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words. With this test, scores are recorded for each correct phoneme in the target word. The student is therefore to be encouraged to repeat the word they heard back to the tester, even if they don't think it is completely right.
