Evaluating a speech-reception threshold model for hearing-impaired listeners.
Plomp's speech reception threshold (SRT) model [R. Plomp, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 63, 533-549 (1978)] incorporates a distortion and an attenuation factor that are both expressed in dB and, for hearing-impaired listeners, are greater than 0 dB. The distortion factor is hypothesized to affect the SRT in quiet and in noise and suggests that a hearing-impaired listener will always demonstrate a higher ...
متن کاملAn information theoretic approach to predict speech intelligibility for listeners with normal and impaired hearing
A computational method to predict speech intelligibility in noisy environments has been developed. By modeling speech and noise as stochastic signals, the information transmission through a given auditory model can be estimated. Ratedistortion theory is then applied to predict speech recognition performance. Results are compared with subjective tests on normal and hearing impaired listeners. It...
متن کاملAn algorithm that improves speech intelligibility in noise for normal-hearing listeners.
Traditional noise-suppression algorithms have been shown to improve speech quality, but not speech intelligibility. Motivated by prior intelligibility studies of speech synthesized using the ideal binary mask, an algorithm is proposed that decomposes the input signal into time-frequency (T-F) units and makes binary decisions, based on a Bayesian classifier, as to whether each T-F unit is domina...
متن کاملSpeech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children
Introduction: Speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-hearing and cochlear-implanted children using the Persian intelligibility test. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six cochlear-implanted childre...
متن کاملThe Influence of Noise Reduction on Speech Intelligibility, Response Times to Speech, and Perceived Listening Effort in Normal-Hearing Listeners
Single-microphone noise reduction leads to subjective benefit, but not to objective improvements in speech intelligibility. We investigated whether response times (RTs) provide an objective measure of the benefit of noise reduction and whether the effect of noise reduction is reflected in rated listening effort. Twelve normal-hearing participants listened to digit triplets that were either unpr...
