The influence of face masks on speech intelligibility of cochlear implant users
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hearing impaired listeners heavily rely on facial expressions and unfiltered speech signals for a sufficient understanding. Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic face masks are worn by almost everyone every day. They therefore interfere especially with communication of hearing listeners.

Spatial hearing and speech intelligibility in bilateral cochlear implant users.
OBJECTIVE The abilities to localize sounds and segregate speech from interfering sounds in a complex auditory environment were studied in a group of adults who use bilateral cochlear implants. The first aim of the study was to investigate the change in speech intelligibility under bilateral and unilateral listening modes as a function of bilateral experience during the first 6 mo of activation....

بر اساس نظریه افلاطون در باره شعر خلاقیت هنری مورد انتقاد قرار گرفته است. نظریه کلی در مورد شعر این بود که شعر از ظواهرتقلید میکند و نه حقیقت. چون سایه ای از حقیقت است. اما با پیدایش فلسفه نو افلاطونی، انتقاتات قبلی در مورد شعر و شاعری اصلاح شد. فلوطین در کتاب انئید، اساس خلق هنری را بر محور مُثل افلاطونی قرار داد. وی باور داشت که هنر مندان در خلق آثار هنری، تحت تاثیر مُثل افلاطونی بوده و عوالمی ...
Speech enhancement based on neural networks improves speech intelligibility in noise for cochlear implant users
Speech understanding in noisy environments is still one of the major challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in everyday life. We evaluated a speech enhancement algorithm based on neural networks (NNSE) for improving speech intelligibility in noise for CI users. The algorithm decomposes the noisy speech signal into time-frequency units, extracts a set of auditory-inspired features and feeds ...
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 کاملEffects of speaking style on speech intelligibility for Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users.
Cochlear implant (CI) users' speech understanding may be influenced by different speaking styles. In this study, speech recognition was measured in Mandarin-speaking CI and normal-hearing (NH) subjects for sentences produced according to four styles: slow, normal, fast, and whispered. CI subjects were tested using their clinical processors; NH subjects were tested while listening to a four-chan...
