The Ling 6
The Ling 6 is a series of sounds that represent different speech sounds from low to high pitch (frequency). They help to test the student’s hearing and to check that they have access to the full range of speech sounds necessary for learning language.
The Ling 6 sound test was developed as a quick and easy test that parents and professionals can use to check their child’s hearing. The test checks that the child can hear (detection) and in time recognize each sound (identification) across the different speech frequencies.
The test also checks that the hearing device is working effectively.
