HearingImpaired Elderly Listeners
The Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), recorded using natural speech and two forms of synthetic speech, DECtalk and Votrax, was used to measure both open-set and closed-set speechrecognition performance. Performance of hearing-impaired elderly listeners was compared to two groups of young normal-hearing adults, one listening in quiet, and the other listening in a background of spectrally shaped noise d...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Effect of Authentic Materials on Iranian EFL Learners’ English Listening Comprehension
Listening comprehension means the process of understanding speech in a second or foreign language. It is the perception of information and stimuli received through the ears. Iranian EFL learners have serious difficulties in English listening comprehension because Iranian universities pay more attention to grammar and reading. The researchers used a set of authentic materials to improve Iranian ...

The purpose of this study was to identify Iranian EFL learner’s awareness degree of listening factors and strategies and the effect of input modification in improvement of listening comprehension. Since listening is a mental process and is not directly observable I had used qualitative method and sought to subjective data not objective one. Two groups of boys and girls in intermediate level had...
متن کاملAge-related changes in listening effort for various types of masker noises.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between cognitive function, listening effort, and speech recognition for a group of younger and older adults with normal hearing and a group of older adults with hearing impairment in various types of background maskers. The authors hypothesize that, as the masker condition becomes more difficult listening effort will i...
متن کاملExamining the Association between T-unit and Pausing Length on the EFL Perception of Listening Comprehension
Listening taking over half of the learners’ time and effort (Nunan, 1998), forms a basis for acquiring much of a language. There are factors affecting listening comprehension and its perception, such as the speech rate, phonological properties of the text, the quality of the recording, the learners’ anxiety, and listening comprehension strategies (Goh, 2000; Hamouda, 2013). At the Iran Language...
