Speech recognition in noise by hearing-impaired and noise-masked normal-hearing listeners.
A prevailing complaint among individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is difficulty understanding speech, particularly under adverse listening conditions. The present investigation compared the speech-recognition abilities of listeners with mild to moderate degrees of SNHL to normal-hearing individuals with simulated hearing impairments, accomplished using spectrally shaped masking no...

BACKGROUND Anecdotal evidence suggests that hearing loss interferes with the enjoyment of music, although it is not known how widespread this problem currently is. PURPOSE To estimate the prevalence of music-listening difficulties among a group of elderly hearing aid wearers. RESEARCH DESIGN Interview. Telephone interviews were conducted with patients who wore hearing aids. Questions regard...
متن کاملPhonetic identification by elderly normal and hearing-impaired listeners.
Young normal-hearing listeners, elderly normal-hearing listeners, and elderly hearing-impaired listeners were tested on a variety of phonetic identification tasks. Where identity was cued by stimulus duration, the elderly hearing-impaired listeners evidenced normal identification functions. On a task in which there were multiple cues to vowel identity, performance was also normal. On a/b d g/id...
متن کاملConsonant recognition loss in hearing impaired listeners.
This paper presents a compact graphical method for comparing the performance of individual hearing impaired (HI) listeners with that of an average normal hearing (NH) listener on a consonant-by-consonant basis. This representation, named the consonant loss profile (CLP), characterizes the effect of a listener's hearing loss on each consonant over a range of performance. The CLP shows that the c...
متن کاملAided and Unaided Speech Perception by Older Hearing Impaired Listeners
The most common complaint of older hearing impaired (OHI) listeners is difficulty understanding speech in the presence of noise. However, tests of consonant-identification and sentence reception threshold (SeRT) provide different perspectives on the magnitude of impairment. Here we quantified speech perception difficulties in 24 OHI listeners in unaided and aided conditions by analyzing (1) con...
