Speech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children
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-hearing and cochlear-implanted children using the Persian intelligibility test. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six cochlear-implanted childre...
متن کاملSpeech intelligibility after repair of cleft lip and palate
Background: Intelligibility refers to understandability of speech; and lack of it can negatively affect children’s overall communication effectiveness. Children with repaired cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) may experience poor speech intelligibility. This study aimed at evaluating speech intelligibility in children with repaired CL/P who had not been referred to sp...
متن کاملPerceptual and Acoustic Impacts of Aberrant Properties of Electrolaryngeal Speech
Advanced laryngeal cancer is often treated by surgical removal of the larynx (laryngectomy) thus rendering patients unable to produce normal voice and speech. Laryngectomy patients must rely on an alternative means of producing voice and speech, with the most common method being the use of an electrolarynx (EL). The EL is a small, hand-held, electromechanical device that acoustically excites th...
متن کاملSpeech Intelligibility in Persian Children with Down Syndrome
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. The purpose of this study was to investigate the speech intelligibility in the Persian children with Down syndrome, age range was 3 to 5 years, who had spo...
متن کاملImprovement of electrolaryngeal speech by introducing normal excitation information
In electrolaryngeal speech, an excitation signal is provided by means of a buzzer held against the neck which is usually operated at a constant frequency rate. While such Transcutaneous Artificial Larynges (TALs) provide a means for verbal communication for people who are unable to use their own, the monotone F0 pattern results in poor speech quality. In the present study, cepstral analysis was...
