Introduction The OTOsuite CUNY speech test is designed to integrate the British English version of the CUNY speech material for playback in the OTOsuite software. The purpose of the CUNY test is to test a person’s ability to understand speech with and without visual cues and noise. The test consists of video presentations where the patient is prompted to repeat as much as possible of the sentences presented. The test can be presented with and without sound or video so that lipreading ability can be assessed for rehabilitation purposes. When OTOsuite is used as a NOAH module, all historical CUNY data is always available on the screen and in reports so that the patient's progress can be followed over time.
