Factors Affecting Acoustics and Speech Intelligibility in the Operating Room: Size Matters
INTRODUCTION Noise in health care settings has increased since 1960 and represents a significant source of dissatisfaction among staff and patients and risk to patient safety. Operating rooms (ORs) in which effective communication is crucial are particularly noisy. Speech intelligibility is impacted by noise, room architecture, and acoustics. For example, sound reverberation time (RT60) increas...

متن کاملFactors Affecting the Intelligibility of Low-Pass Filtered Speech
Frequency compression is an effective alternative to conventional hearing aids amplification for patients with severe-to-profound middleand high-frequency hearing loss and with some low-frequency residual hearing. In order to develop novel frequency compression strategy, it is important to first understand the mechanism for recognizing low-pass filtered speech, which simulates high-frequency he...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Intelligibility of Sine-Wave Speech
Studies on sine-wave speech (SWS) perception suggest that formants contain sufficient information for sentence intelligibility. This study further investigated the effects of amplitude modulation, number of sine-waves, and vowel resonance in SWS recognition. Results showed that Mandarin sentences synthesized using frequency trajectories of the first two formants were highly intelligible with ad...
