The work presents studied on perception of speech, which is the essence of social efficiency of hearing, depending on degree of noise-induced hearing loss. The applied method consisted in processing verbal tests by a computer system that simulated noise-inducted hearing loss. A group of young people with normal hearing was used in the study and their intelliginility of speech was determined with apprpriately filtered verbal tests. It was found that hearing lodd characteristic of noise-inducted changes consideably impair understanding of speech.
