Voiced initial consonant perception deficits in older listeners with hearing loss and good and poor word recognition.
PURPOSE This study examined differences in voiced consonant-vowel (CV) perception in older listeners with normal hearing and in 2 groups of older listeners with matched hearing losses: those with good and those with poor word recognition scores. METHOD Thirty-six participants identified CVs from an 8-item display from the natural voiced initial consonants/b, d, g, m, n, eth, v and z/in three ...
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 کاملWord-recognition performance in interrupted noise by young listeners with normal hearing and older listeners with hearing loss.
BACKGROUND The most common complaint of adults with hearing loss is understanding speech in noise. One class of masker that may be particularly useful in the assessment of speech-in-noise abilities is interrupted noise. Interrupted noise usually is a continuous noise that has been multiplied by a square wave that produces alternating intervals of noise and silence. Wilson and Carhart found that...
متن کاملVowel Perception in Listeners With Normal Hearing and in Listeners With Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of hearing loss on perception of vowel slices. METHODS Fourteen listeners aged 20-27 participated; ten (6 males) had hearing within normal limits and four (3 males) had moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Stimuli were six naturally-produced words consisting of the vowels /i a u æ ɛ ʌ/ in a /b V b/ context. Each word was presented as a whole...
متن کاملFrequency and temporal resolution in elderly listeners with good and poor word recognition.
There is a subgroup of elderly listeners with hearing loss who can be characterized by exceptionally poor speech understanding. This study examined the hypothesis that the poor speech-understanding performance of some elderly listeners is associated with disproportionate deficits in temporal resolution and frequency resolution, especially for complex signals. Temporal resolution, as measured by...
