Japanese audiology has a standardized 57-syllable list for cross-study speech comparisons
Evidence
In the first stage, nonsense words were composed by choosing the second syllable at random from the 50 Japanese syllables presented without parentheses in Table 1 . This is the list of syllables (57-S) recommended by the Japanese Audiological Society ( 2003 ) for use in clinical studies to facilitate comparison of behavioural data across studies. The first and third syllables in the words were then selected at random from the full set of 62 syllables in Table 1 . The set was enlarged to reduce the chance of listeners recognizing the restriction on the set used for the target syllable. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4055
