Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Familiarity-controlled Word-lists 2007 (FW07) has been released. FW07 was developed for testing hearing ability in daily life. FW07 aims to be easier use in clinical examinations, such as fitting hearing aid. For this aim, we made two operations to FW03. First, the number of word in each list was reduced from 50 to 20 in order to reduce subjects’ burden.
Second, not only the phonemic distribution was balanced by as same way as FW03 but also the speech level of each word in the lists was adjusted by SRT (Speech Recognition Threshold) in order to make smaller the differences of mean intelligibility among word lists in the same familiarity rank. The results from word intelligibility test for FW03 and FW07 showed that smaller differences of the mean word intelligibility of the lists in FW07. This means that the FW07 is useful for intelligibility test in clinical situation and it provides us a great opportunity to assess the hearing ability in daily life easily and accurately.
