In preschoolers, we can observe speech discrepancies very frequently. Atypical discrepancies are important in children’s speech intelligibility and, consequently, their communication self-esteem.

Mobile phones: a trade-off between speech intelligibility and exposure to noise levels and to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields [PDF]
When making phone calls, cellphone and smartphone users are exposed to radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and sound pressure simultaneously. Speech intelligibility during mobile phone calls is related to the sound pressure level of speech

Speakers adjust their voice when talking in noise, which is known as Lombard speech. These acoustic adjustments facilitate speech comprehension in noise relative to plain speech (i.e., speech produced in quiet).

A Weighted STOI Intelligibility Metric Based On Mutual Information [PDF]
It is known that the information required for the intelligibility of a speech signal is distributed non-uniformly in time. In this paper we propose WSTOI, a modified version of STOI, a speech intelligibility metric.

The listening talker: A review of human and algorithmic context-induced modifications of speech [PDF]
International audienceSpeech output technology is finding widespread application, including in scenarios where intelligibility might be compromised - at least for some listeners - by adverse conditions. Unlike most current algorithms, talkers continually

A computer model of auditory efferent suppression: Implications for the recognition of speech in noise [PDF]
The neural mechanisms underlying the ability of human listeners to recognize speech in the presence of background noise are still imperfectly understood.

A binaural grouping model for predicting speech intelligibility in multitalker environments [PDF]
Spatially separating speech maskers from target speech often leads to a large intelligibility improvement. Modeling this phenomenon has long been of interest to binaural-hearing researchers for uncovering brain mechanisms and for improving signal ...

Speech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children [PDF]
Introduction: Speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-

Mosaic speech is degraded speech that is segmented into time × frequency blocks. Earlier research with Japanese mosaic speech has shown that its intelligibility is almost perfect for mosaic block durations (MBD) up to 40 ms.
