The intelligibility of pointillistic speech [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
A form of processed speech is described that is highly discriminable in a closed-set identification format. The processing renders speech into a set of sinusoidal pulses played synchronously across frequency. The processing and results from several experiments are described.

Estimation of logatom intelligibility with the STI method for Polish speech transmitted via communication channels

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2004
An objective measure of the quality of speech communication channels was introduced and described by Steeneken-Houtgast. By calculating the Speech Transmission Index (STI), this method provides an estimate of logatom intelligibility for a ...

The Intelligibility of the Reversed-Stethoscope Technique in Age-Related Hearing Loss

open access: yesCanadian Geriatrics Journal, 2022
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effectiveness of the reverse stethoscope technique in improving speech intelligibility. In this technique, a clinician places the earpieces of their stethoscope into the ears of a hearing-impaired patient and speaks

Language-independent talker-specificity in bilingual speech intelligibility: Individual traits persist across first-language and second-language speech

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2018
The present study provides evidence of a positive correlation between L1 and L2 intelligibility for bilingual talkers. Each talker in a group of Mandarin-English and Korean-English bilinguals was recorded producing simple sentences in each of their ...

EVALUATION OF SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY IN THE PREMISES PROTECTED BY ACOUSTIC NOISE GENERATOR

open access: yesДоклады Белорусского государственного университета информатики и радиоэлектроники, 2019
The evaluation of the speech intelligibility in the premises protected by acoustic noise generator was performed by the correlation analysis method. The existence of dependence between the speech intelligibility and the signal power was proofed with a ...

Speech Intelligibility in Persian Children with Down Syndrome

open access: yesIranian Rehabilitation Journal, 2015
Objectives: One of the most effective methods to describe speech disorders is the measurement of speech intelligibility. The speech intelligibility indicates the extent of acoustic signals that correctly speaker produces and hearer receives.

Speech intelligibility in virtual restaurants [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for a target voice on the same virtual table were measured in various restaurant simulations under conditions of masking by between one and eight interferers at other tables. Results for different levels of reverberation and different simulation techniques were qualitatively similar.

Relations Between the Intelligibility of Speech in Noise and Psychophysical Measures of Hearing Measured in Four Languages Using the Auditory Profile Test Battery

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2015
The aim of the present study was to determine the relations between the intelligibility of speech in noise and measures of auditory resolution, loudness recruitment, and cognitive function. The analyses were based on data published earlier as part of the
