The influence of audibility on speech recognition with nonlinear frequency compression for children and adults with hearing loss.
OBJECTIVE The primary goal of nonlinear frequency compression (NFC) and other frequency-lowering strategies is to increase the audibility of high-frequency sounds that are not otherwise audible with conventional hearing aid (HA) processing due to the degree of hearing loss, limited HA bandwidth, or a combination of both factors. The aim of the present study was to compare estimates of speech au...
متن کاملNonlinear frequency compression: Influence of start frequency and input bandwidth on consonant and vowel recognition.
By varying parameters that control nonlinear frequency compression (NFC), this study examined how different ways of compressing inaudible mid- and/or high-frequency information at lower frequencies influences perception of consonants and vowels. Twenty-eight listeners with mild to moderately severe hearing loss identified consonants and vowels from nonsense syllables in noise following amplific...
متن کاملnonlinear modeling of speech poincare sections in combination with frequency analysis to improve speech recognition performance
this paper introduces a novel approach to improve performance of speech recognition systems using a combination of features obtained from speech reconstructed phase space (rps) and frequency domain analysis. by choosing an appropriate value for the dimension, reconstructed phase space is assured to be topologically equivalent to the dynamics of the speech production system, and could therefore ...
متن کاملFrequency compression and its effects in speech recognition.
BACKGROUND frequency compression. AIM to evaluate the index of speech recognition (IPRF) using frequency compression in three different ratios. METHODS monosyllabic words were recorded using an algorithm of frequency compression in three ratios: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, generating three lists of words. Eighteen listeners accomplished the IPRF using the modified words. They were subdivided in two grou...
متن کاملCortical Auditory Evoked Potentials Reveal Changes in Audibility with Nonlinear Frequency Compression in Hearing Aids for Children: Clinical Implications.
Hearing loss in children is detected soon after birth via newborn hearing screening. Procedures for early hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting are well established, but methods for evaluating the effectiveness of amplification for young children are limited. One promising approach to validating hearing aid fittings is to measure cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs). This article pr...
