Factors affecting vowel formant discrimination by hearing-impaired listeners.
The goal of this study was to measure the ability of adult hearing-impaired listeners to discriminate formant frequency for vowels in isolation, syllables, and sentences. Vowel formant discrimination for F1 and F2 for the vowels /I epsilon ae / was measured. Four experimental factors were manipulated including linguistic context (isolated vowels, syllables, and sentences), signal level (70 and ...
متن کاملVowel Perception in Listeners With Normal Hearing and in Listeners With Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of hearing loss on perception of vowel slices. METHODS Fourteen listeners aged 20-27 participated; ten (6 males) had hearing within normal limits and four (3 males) had moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Stimuli were six naturally-produced words consisting of the vowels /i a u æ ɛ ʌ/ in a /b V b/ context. Each word was presented as a whole...
متن کاملVariability in vowel formant frequencies of children with cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a developmental motor disorder and the study of the speech characteristics and developmental speech patterns may provide valuable information on early speech development. Vowels appear early in speech development and they are central to the understanding of the acoustic properties of speech. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the differences of vowel formant fr...
متن کاملPerception of temporally processed speech by listeners with hearing impairment.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess a new signal-processing strategy, Spatiotemporal Pattern Correction (SPC), for a group of listeners with varying degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. SPC is based on a physiological model of the level-dependent temporal response properties of auditory nerve (AN) fibers in normal and impaired ears. SPC attempts to "correct" AN response pattern...
متن کاملEffects of signal level and spectral contrast on vowel formant discrimination for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether increasing the overall speech level or the individual spectral contrasts of vowel sounds can improve vowel formant discrimination for listeners both with and without normal hearing. METHOD Thresholds of vowel formant discrimination were examined for the F2 frequencies of 3 American English vowels for listeners with and without normal hear...
