Recently, the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) was developed for Canadian Francophone listeners (Vaillancourt et al, 2005). Because of the large differences between Canadian and European French, the French Intelligibility Sentence Test (FIST) was developed using procedures similar to the HINT for adaptive testing of speech intelligibility in noise in Europe. Reference data were obtained for normal-hearing listeners and the performance of Francophone listeners from France and Belgium was compared.
