Dear Auditory list,

I hope this message finds you well. I apologize for the interruption, but I am reaching out to ask for your help in locating a copy of the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT), which has been commercially unavailable for several years.

I have conducted an extensive search and also checked the auditory list repository, but I have not had any luck so far. If anyone has suggestions, resources, or knows of a lab that still has access to this test, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you in advance for your time and support!

All the best,
