Discrimination of Speech Sound Contrasts Determined with Behavioral Tests and Event-Related Potentials in Cochlear Implant Recipients [PDF]
Cortical potentials evoked with speech stimuli were investigated in ten experienced cochlear implant (CI, type Nucleus 24M) users using three different speech-coding strategies and two different speech contrasts, one vowel (/i/-/a/) and one consonant ...

Standard Error Measurement in Speech Discrimination Testing [PDF]
Speech discrimination data obtained by sequential testing with 12 normal-hearing listeners were described by Bode and Carhart at the 80th Meeting of the Society in Houston [J. Acoust. Soc. Amer. 49, 95(A) (1971)]. Group results showed that sequential testing provided discrimination functions essentially identical to those measured by conventional ...

Rationale and Standardization for a Combined Speech Articulation and Auditory Discrimination Test [PDF]
A description of the rationale for the development of a rapid screening test of articulation combined with a new type of auditory discrimination test called “self-monitoring” is given. Standardization norms, equivalency of two alternate forms, test-retest reliability, interjudge reliability, and intercorrelations are provided. The articulation test is

A Progress Report on the Naval Aviators' Speech Discrimination Test,
Abstract : The document is concerned with the Naval Aviators' speech discrimination test (NASDT) which is used to provide an objective basis for granting waivers to senior aviators who fail to meet the pure-tone hearing standards but who experience no hearing difficulties in their working environment.

Speech Discrimination and Monaural Filtered Speech Tests for Temporal Lobe Lesions
Central auditory functions of 7 cases of unilateral temporal lobe lesion were examined. The speech discrimination scores were nearly normal in the ipsilateral ears, but reduced in the contralateral ears in five out of six cases. The monaural filtered speech tests, which consisted of nonsense onesyllable words filtered through 1, 200 and 1, 700Hz low ...

Diagnostic Significance of Speech Discrimination Test for Intracranial Lesions
For evaluation of diagnostic value of speech audiometry in the battery of the auditory tests for retrocochlear deafness, various types of hearing tests were presented in 73 cases with the confirmed intracranial lesions. The speech discrimination tests were performed by using three lists of the ordinary, frequency-distorted, and interrupted words, and ...

Modulation rate and age effect on intermittent speech recognition
Purpose: to investigate the auditory recognition of intermittent speech in relation to different modulation rates and ages. Methods: 20 young people, 20 middle-aged adults, and 16 older adults, all of them with auditory thresholds equal to or lower than

Sequential Testing of Speech Discrimination [PDF]
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.

Influence of musical training on understanding voiced and whispered speech in noise. [PDF]
This study tested the hypothesis that the previously reported advantage of musicians over non-musicians in understanding speech in noise arises from more efficient or robust coding of periodic voiced speech, particularly in fluctuating backgrounds ...
