Sequential Testing of Speech Discrimination [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971 Levitt and Rabiner recently described the use of sequential strategies for the measurement of speech intelligibility [J. Acoust. Soc. Amer. 42, 609–612 (1967)]. We employed the best-of-five strategy to measure the S/N ratios required for 30%, 50%, and 70% discrimination of CNC words in white noise.

The relationship of speech intelligibility with hearing sensitivity, cognition, and perceived hearing difficulties varies for different speech perception tests [PDF]
, 2015 Listeners vary in their ability to understand speech in noisy environments. Hearing sensitivity, as measured by pure-tone audiometry, can only partly explain these results, and cognition has emerged as another key concept.

A Case Study Assessing the Auditory and Speech Development of Four Children Implanted with Cochlear Implants by the Chronological Age of 12 Months [PDF]
, 2013 Children with severe hearing loss most likely receive the greatest benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) when implanted at less than 2 years of age. Children with a hearing loss may also benefit greater from binaural sensory stimulation. Four children who

Individual differences in the discrimination of novel speech sounds: effects of sex, temporal processing, musical and cognitive abilities [PDF]
, 2012 This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120 ...

High variability identification and discrimination training for Japanese speakers learning English /r/-/l/ [PDF]
, 2017 Second-language (L2) learners can benefit from exposure to phonetically variable speech during computer-based training. Moreover, this training can be effective even for L2 learners who have extensive exposure to their L2 in daily life, suggesting that ...

Effectiveness of computer-based auditory training in improving the perception of noise-vocoded speech [PDF]
, 2007 Five experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of “high-variability” lexical training in improving the ability of normal-hearing subjects to perceive noise-vocoded speech that had been spectrally shifted to simulate tonotopic misalignment ...

Closed-Set Speech Discrimination Tests for Assessing Young Children [PDF]
Ear & Hearing, 2018 Objective: The main objective of this study is to obtain data assessing normative scores, test–retest reliability, critical differences, and the effect of age for two closed-set consonant-discrimination tests. Design: The two tests are intended for use with children aged 2 to 8 ...

Auditory Processing in Children with Specific Language Impairments: Are there Deficits in Frequency Discrimination, Temporal Auditory Processing or General Auditory Processing? [PDF]
, 2009 Background/Aims: Specific language impairment (SLI) is believed to be associated with nonverbal auditory (NVA) deficits. It remains unclear, however, whether children with SLI show deficits in auditory time processing, time processing in general ...

Gamified discrimination tests for speech therapy applications
Il parlato nel contesto naturale, 2018 The integrity of phonetic perception abilities is necessary for a normal functioning future speech development. Since the ability to discriminate linguistic sounds is typically associated to the correct acquisition and production of the same sounds, an alteration of this ability could contribute to the onset of speech and language disorders ...
