1. There are up to 3 practice lists to help familiarise the test for the client, lists 1-12 are to be used for basic
QuickSIN testing and they can be selected from the drop down menu highlighted below.
Please select your list from this
drop down menu
Press start to begin the first sentence on the selected list. The next sentence will automatically play once you
have scored the previous sentence.

QuickSIN scoring: In each list there are 6 sentences, and in
each sentence there will be 5 key words highlighted in bold.
You must score the client on how many of these key words the
client correctly repeats back to you. Please score using the
scoring screen on the top-centre of the screen and the Callisto
will automatically move on to the next sentence.

QuickSIN score: Once the last sentence has been scored using the numbers above, a total and SNR loss
will be given. The SNR loss is the difference in the patient's performance in noise compared to normal
hearing persons' performance in noise. The SNR Loss is the score used to quantify the client's difficulties
and used to report the loss in dB. This score can be used to categorise the client's degree of SNR Loss and
the expected improvements with directional mics can be seen in the graph below.
