Speech sound discrimination in background noise across the lifespan: a comparative study in Mongolian gerbils and humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging NeuroscienceMany elderly listeners have difficulties with speech-in-noise perception, even if auditory thresholds in quiet are normal. The mechanisms underlying this compromised speech perception with age are still not understood.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956 Short-time energy vs frequency spectra of stop bursts, and formant transitions in the adjacent vowel have been studied. Sound segments consisting of burst or transition alone were submitted to listeners for identification. Results are discussed with the aim of developing possible identifying criteria utilizing cues in the burst spectra and in the ...

Identification of deleted consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978 VC transitions have often been found to be better cues for the identification of deleted consonants than CV transitions. The lower score for CV transitions could very well be due to an interfering ’’click sensation’’ caused by the abrupt begining of these transitions. In the present investigation the abrubt onset was eliminated by replacing the deleted

The Roles of Consonant, Rime, and Tone in Mandarin Spoken Word Recognition: An Eye-Tracking Study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This study investigated the relative role of sub-syllabic components (initial consonant, rime, and tone) in spoken word recognition of Mandarin Chinese using an eye-tracking experiment with a visual world paradigm.

The effect of aging on identification of Mandarin consonants in normal and whisper registers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Consonant perception in older adults has been widely explored in recent years. However, how aging affects the identification of Mandarin consonants, especially in whispered condition, are under studied.

Which Plosive Consonant Is More Useful for the Aerodynamic Analysis of Pathologic Voice? [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2020 Objectives. Both acoustic and aerodynamic analyses are essential to evaluate the phonetic characteristics of voice pathology. The purpose of the study is to determine the magnitude of their correlation with the different types of bilabial plosive ...

Effects of Expansion on Consonant Recognition and Consonant Audibility [PDF]
Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2009 Background: Hearing aid expansion is intended to reduce the gain for low-level noise. However, expansion can also degrade low-intensity speech. Although it has been suggested that the poorer performance with expansion is due to reduced audibility, this has not been measured directly.
