Effects of expansion on consonant recognition and consonant audibility.
BACKGROUND Hearing aid expansion is intended to reduce the gain for low-level noise. However, expansion can also degrade low-intensity speech. Although it has been suggested that the poorer performance with expansion is due to reduced audibility, this has not been measured directly. Furthermore, previous studies used relatively high expansion kneepoints. PURPOSE This study compared the effect...
متن کاملConsonant enhancement effects on speech recognition of hearing-impaired children.
Differences in gain (enhancement, in dB) required to optimize the consonant/vowel intensity ratio in nonsense syllables were determined for stops and fricatives, both voiced and voiceless, in 12 children with congenital moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. The test stimuli were vowel/consonant nonsense syllables with various levels of enhancement ranging from 0 dB (for the unprocessed...
متن کاملHuman and machine consonant recognition
Three traditional ASR parameterizations matched with Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are compared to humans for speaker-dependent consonant recognition using nonsense syllables degraded by highpass filtering, lowpass filtering, or additive noise. Confusion matrices were determined by recognizing the syllables using different ASR front ends, including Mel-Filter Bank (MFB) energies, Mel-Filtered Cep...
متن کاملEffects of consonant aspiration on Mandarin tones
The influence of consonant aspiration on the F0 contours of tones in Mandarin Chinese was tested in continuous speech by reference to a minimal pair of syllables, /ta/ and /tÓa/, which differ only in terms of aspiration. It was found that, consonant aspiration affects the fundamental frequency (F0) of the following vowel. The onset F0 of a tone is higher following unaspirated consonants than fo...
متن کاملEffects of NALR on consonant-vowel perception
Consonant vowel (CV) identification experiments in masking noise with 16 hearing impaired (HI) ears at two different gain conditions, i.e. FlatGain (FG) and spectral correction (National Acoustic Laboratory Revised prescriptive procedure, NALR ), were administered (Han (2011)). In both gain conditions, listeners were directed to adjust the presentation level to their most comfortable loudness (...
