Speech-in-noise tests like the MST are relevant in audiology, as they better reflect everyday listening conditions compared to pure-tone audiometry. Due to their suprathreshold signal presentation and robustness against calibration offsets, they are particularly suitable for remote testing. It is unclear, however, if a sensitive and efficient test like the MST exhibits the same robustness against uncontrolled conditions in remote testing with uncalibrated consumer devices. This motivates the systematic assessment of the online MST\u2019s reliability and its agreement with laboratory administration, conducted in normal-hearing participants using the browser-based platform \u201cVirtual Hearing Clinic\u201d (VHC). Twenty normal hearing participants completed the test in a randomized sequence: once in a lab with calibrated equipment and twice remotely via the VHC using uncalibrated consumer devices (smartphones, laptops, headphones).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>revealed no significant influence of headphone type, test environment, or pure-tone average. The remote condition demonstrated high test\u2013retest reliability (r = 0.82) and strong correlation with lab-based measurements (r = 0.78). A mean bias of 0.29 dB in speech recognition thresholds was observed with slightly better performance in the lab, though not statistically significant (p = 0.15). Overall, results demonstrate that the MST, when implemented remotely and using uncalibrated consumer hardware, yields results of accuracy and reliability comparable to those obtained in the lab for normal hearing, supporting further applications of remote hearing assessments with optimized test materials.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23312165261469957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T18:39:04Z","timestamp":1784831944000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Remote Matrix Sentence Test on Uncalibrated Consumer Devices: Test\u2013Retest Reliability and Laboratory Agreement in Normal Hearing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3520-0180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Schwarz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lena","family":"Schell-Majoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samira","family":"Saak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Bruns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Division Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology, Fraunhofer-Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birger","family":"Kollmeier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Carl von Ossietzky Universit\u00e4t Oldenburg"},{"name":"Division Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology, Fraunhofer-Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/23312165211025941"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.1479152"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_4_1","volume-title":"Vergleich von Oldenburgers Satztest und Freiburger W\u00f6rtertest als geschlossene Version. 7.
