This study aimed to evaluate the effects of auditory-verbal rehabilitation on voice parameters after implantation with cochlear implants 2 and 5 months after rehabilitation and compare them with normal voice children (under 12 years of age). A perceptive and electroacoustic evaluation of voice was carried out through a digital analysis after implantation and rehabilitation. The study was pe...

A practical speech enhancement system consists of two major components, the estimation of noise power spectrum, and the estimation of speech.In single channel speech enhancement systems, most algorithms require an estimation of average noise spectrum since a secondary channel is not available. This requires a reliable speech/silence detector. Thus the speech/silence detection can be a determini...

Determining whether someone is talking has applications in many areas such as speech recognition, speaker diarization, social robotics, facial expression recognition, and human computer interaction. One popular approach to this problem is audio-visual synchrony detection [10, 21, 12]. A candidate speaker is deemed to be talking if the visual signal around that speaker correlates with the audito...

© 2012 ETRI Journal, Volume 34, Number 2, April 2012 In this paper, we propose a novel approach to statistical model-based voice activity detection (VAD) that incorporates a second-order conditional maximum a posteriori (CMAP) criterion. As a technical improvement for the first-order CMAP criterion in [1], we consider both the current observation and the voice activity decision in the previous ...

Introduction: Use of patient-based voice assessment scales is an appropriate method that is frequently used to demonstrate effectiveness of voice therapy. This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness ofvoice therapy among patients with secondary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) and vocal mass lesions.   Materials and Methods: The study design was prospective, with within-participant repe...

Ab~hd-— Bllletooth is an emerging standard for low-nower. low-cost indoor Dico-cellular wireless sysiems. It is a Master dri;en Time Division Duplex (TDD) system. Real time services such as voice are given 64Kbps bandwidth in Bluetooth. However most other wireless networks use compressed voice, which requires much lesser bandwidth, leading to a substantial increase in system capacity. Bandwidth...
