ECO-DAST: Danish Conversational Speech-in-Noise Test Materials and Data

Denmark-based researchers from Rigshospitalet and the Technical University of Denmark created the Everyday Conversational Danish Sentence Test (ECO-DAST). The 252.1 MB dataset includes materials for running the speech-in-noise test and experimental data used for its psychometric characterization, as published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America in 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting speech-in-noise perception experiments based on conversational speech materials.
• Psychometrically characterizing a speech corpus for hearing assessment.
• Developing or validating hearing aid algorithms using realistic Danish speech stimuli.
• Studying ecological validity in audiology test design based on the described corpus.

Strengths

• Includes both test materials and experimental development data, providing a complete resource.
• Based on a peer-reviewed publication in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2026).
• Dataset version was updated on 2026-04-09, indicating maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is specific to the Danish language, limiting generalizability.
