The effects of increasing consonant/vowel intensity ratio on speech loudness.
It was hypothesized that speech loudness may be primarily determined by the level of the vowel and that, as a consequence, high positive consonant/vowel intensity ratios (C/V ratios) could be tolerated by hearing-impaired listeners with possible improvement in intelligibility. The present study was concerned with the effects of high C/V ratios on the loudness of speech as a necessary first step...
متن کاملConsonant (vowel) Consonant Sequences in Early Words
Consonant repetition ("reduplication") predominates in #CVC sequences in babbling and early words, gradually giving way to consonant variation ("variegation") with a "Fronting" pattern whereby the first consonant has a more anterior place of articulation than the second. The various reduplicative patterns are primarily attributed to a "Frame" consisting of rhythmic mandibular oscillation. Evide...
متن کاملEffects of NALR on consonant-vowel perception
Consonant vowel (CV) identification experiments in masking noise with 16 hearing impaired (HI) ears at two different gain conditions, i.e. FlatGain (FG) and spectral correction (National Acoustic Laboratory Revised prescriptive procedure, NALR ), were administered (Han (2011)). In both gain conditions, listeners were directed to adjust the presentation level to their most comfortable loudness (...
متن کاملContextual effects on vowel duration, closure duration, and the consonant/vowel ratio in speech production.
Acoustic measurements were conducted to determine the degree to which vowel duration, closure duration, and their ratio distinguish voicing of word-final stop consonants across variations in sentential and phonetic environments. Subjects read CVC test words containing three different vowels and ending in stops of three different places of articulation. The test words were produced either in non...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Improvement in Consonant Recognition for the Hearing- Impaired Listeners: Role of Consonant-vowel Intensity Ratio
One of the most common complaints expressed by individuals with hearing loss is the difficulty in understanding speech when listening in background noise. This paper highlights the importance of enhancement of an important acoustic attribute of clear speech -‘Consonant-Vowel intensity ratio’. A case for synthetic clear speech in the context of hearing impairment was developed. Consonant recogni...
