speech reception threshold. The softest level that an individual can identify 50% of the spondees presented; reported on an audiogram.

Speech Reception Test. Using two-syllable words called spondees (e.g., airplane, baseball, rainbow), the audiologist will ask you to repeat each word heard as the loudness is diminished. Some words are very soft and guessing is allowed. The purpose of the test is a crosscheck for the accuracy of the pure tone test results and to check your ability to recognize and repeat words accurately.

speech reception threshold. The minimum level of speech at which a person can accurately repeat 50% of the words. stapedectomy: Surgical removal of the stapes (i.e., one of the three bones/ossicles of the middle ear).

source-route transparent bridging. IBM bridging scheme that merges the two most prevalent bridging strategies, SRB and transparent bridging. SRT employs both technologies in one device to satisfy the needs of all ENs. No translation between bridging protocols is necessary. Compare with SR/TLB.

Source Routing Transparent. An algorithm under consideration by IEEE combining Transparent Bridging for Ethernet networks and Source Routing of Token Ring networks for interconnectivity of the two LAN types. Upward migration to FDDI is guaranteed. The bridge applies either TB or SR logic to each frame according to frame type.

Source route transparent. A token ring standard that supports both source route and transparent bridging frames between bridges and end stations on multiple-ring token ring networks.

Special Reaction Team. In the military, a specially trained unit that reacts to and resolves special threats, such as terrorist acts and hostage taking. Organized under a squad concept, the ideal SRT is comprised of nine members.
