Effects of speaking style on speech intelligibility for Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users.
Cochlear implant (CI) users' speech understanding may be influenced by different speaking styles. In this study, speech recognition was measured in Mandarin-speaking CI and normal-hearing (NH) subjects for sentences produced according to four styles: slow, normal, fast, and whispered. CI subjects were tested using their clinical processors; NH subjects were tested while listening to a four-chan...
متن کاملPerceptual learning and nonword repetition using a cochlear implant simulation.
This study examined the effects of perceptual learning on nonword repetition performance of normal-hearing listeners who were exposed to severely degraded auditory conditions that were designed to simulate the auditory input of a cochlear implant. Twenty normal-hearing adult listeners completed a nonword repetition task using an eight-band, frequency-shifted cochlear implant simulation strategy...
متن کاملPerceptual compensation for differences in speaking style
It is well-established that listeners will shift their categorization of a target vowel as a function of acoustic characteristics of a preceding carrier phrase (CP). These results have been interpreted as an example of perceptual normalization for variability resulting from differences in talker anatomy. The present study examined whether listeners would normalize for acoustic variability resul...
متن کاملThe Cochlear Implant
The studies on cochlear implants have been conducted in the United States, Austria, Brasil, France, Finland, and some other countries. Up to now, this technique does not seem to have a wide spread application. Indeed it can only apply cases of deafness still presenting sufficient neural remnants to transmit the message. Moreover, the patient must be totally deaf( quasi complete loss of har cel...
متن کاملVoice discrimination in cochlear implant users
Abstract Due to the limited processing of spectral cues, voice discrimination might be restricted in cochlear implant (CI) users. A very basic representation of different voices is given by the speaker gender. Important characteristics are the fundamental frequency (f0) and the vocal tract length (VTL) which influences formant frequencies. Based on a natural utterance these parameters were expl...
