Vowel production of Mandarin-speaking hearing aid users with different types of hearing loss
In contrast with previous research focusing on cochlear implants, this study examined the speech performance of hearing aid users with conductive (n = 11), mixed (n = 10), and sensorineural hearing loss (n = 7) and compared it with the speech of hearing control. Speech intelligibility was evaluated by computing the vowel space area defined by the Mandarin Chinese corner vowels /a, u, i/. The ac...
متن کاملPaired comparisons of nonlinear frequency compression, extended bandwidth, and restricted bandwidth hearing aid processing for children and adults with hearing loss.
BACKGROUND Preference for speech and music processed with nonlinear frequency compression (NFC) and two controls (restricted bandwidth [RBW] and extended bandwidth [EBW] hearing aid processing) was examined in adults and children with hearing loss. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine if stimulus type (music, sentences), age (children, adults), and degree of hearing loss influen...
متن کاملBenefit from, and acclimatization to, frequency compression hearing aids in experienced adult hearing-aid users.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate whether frequency compression (FC) hearing aids provide additional benefit to that conferred by conventional amplification. DESIGN Participants wore the same hearing aid with FC enabled and disabled for six weeks (ABA design) in each condition. Speech recognition tests (in both quiet and in noise) were administered alongside two questionnaires. Performance...
متن کاملPerceptual acclimatization post nonlinear frequency compression hearing aid fitting in older children.
PURPOSE In this study, the authors evaluated the effect of frequency compression hearing aids on speech perception ability and the time course and magnitude of acclimatization-related changes. METHOD Participants included children ages 11-18 years. Speech perception ability was evaluated over well-controlled baseline, treatment, and withdrawal study phases. Study-worn hearing aids were indivi...
متن کاملHearing aid low frequency cut: effect on Mandarin tone and vowel perception in normal-hearing listeners.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of low frequency cuts (LCs) in hearing aid frequency response on Mandarin tone and vowel perception at varying signal-to-noise ratios (S/N ratios). PATIENTS AND METHODS Four LC conditions were reviewed, using a programmable, behind-the-ear hearing aid: no LC (NoLC), a 6-dB/octave LC (LC6), a 12-dB/octave LC (LC12), and an 18-dB/octave LC (LC18). Five S/N ra...
