ASHA Spondees is a speech threshold (speech reception threshold-SRT) recording. It is two sets of 18 spondaic words formulated by an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) committee of audiologists. The two lists are considered to be of equivalent difficulty.

The talker has a General American dialect. The articulation function is approximately 4% /dB. The W-22 administration time is 10-18 minutes.
