Abstract
This paper describes the auditory screening function of low redundancy synthesized Hungarian words. They have successfully been applied to hearing screening of children. The same artificial words highlight the children’s speech perception disorders in the case of normal hearing. The basic hypothesis is applicable to many other languages as well.
