Predicting the intelligibility of vocoded speech.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a number of speech intelligibility indices in terms of predicting the intelligibility of vocoded speech. DESIGN Noise-corrupted sentences were vocoded in a total of 80 conditions, involving three different signal-to-noise ratio levels (-5, 0, and 5 dB) and two types of maskers (steady state noise and two-talker). Tone-voco...
متن کاملPredicting the intelligibility of vocoded and wideband Mandarin Chinese.
Due to the limited number of cochlear implantees speaking Mandarin Chinese, it is extremely difficult to evaluate new speech coding algorithms designed for tonal languages. Access to an intelligibility index that could reliably predict the intelligibility of vocoded (and non-vocoded) Mandarin Chinese is a viable solution to address this challenge. The speech-transmission index (STI) and coheren...
متن کاملPredicting Speech Intelligibility
Hearing impairment, and specifically sensorineural hearing loss, is an increasingly prevalent condition, especially amongst the ageing population. It occurs primarily as a result of damage to hair cells that act as sound receptors in the inner ear and causes a variety of hearing perception problems, most notably a reduction in speech intelligibility. Accurate diagnosis of hearing impairments is...
متن کاملRole of binaural hearing in speech intelligibility and spatial release from masking using vocoded speech.
A cochlear implant vocoder was used to evaluate relative contributions of spectral and binaural temporal fine-structure cues to speech intelligibility. In Study I, stimuli were vocoded, and then convolved through head related transfer functions (HRTFs) to remove speech temporal fine structure but preserve the binaural temporal fine-structure cues. In Study II, the order of processing was revers...
متن کاملThe Effects of Phase Information on the Intelligibility of Channel Vocoded Speech
The intelligibility of vocoded speech with various phase spectra was compared to the intelligibility of the original input natural speech. It was found that vocoded speech with true natural phase was the closest to natural speech in intelligibility.
