Extended high frequency hearing and speech perception implications in adults and children
Extended high frequencies (EHF), above 8 kHz, represent a region of the human hearing
spectrum that is generally ignored by clinicians and researchers alike. This article is a …

Extended high frequencies provide both spectral and temporal information to improve speech-in-speech recognition
Several studies have demonstrated that extended high frequencies (EHFs;> 8 kHz) in
speech are not only audible but also have some utility for speech recognition, including for …

Extended high-frequency hearing enhances speech perception in noise
L Motlagh Zadeh, NH Silbert… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Young healthy adults can hear tones up to at least 20 kHz. However, clinical audiometry, by
which hearing loss is diagnosed, is limited at high frequencies to 8 kHz. Evidence suggests …

Acoustic characteristics of fricatives, amplitude of formants and clarity of speech produced without and with a medical mask
Background Previous research has found that high‐frequency energy of speech signals
decreased while wearing face masks. However, no study has examined the specific spectral …

Dimension-selective attention as a possible driver of dynamic, context-dependent re-weighting in speech processing
The contribution of acoustic dimensions to an auditory percept is dynamically adjusted and
reweighted based on prior experience about how informative these dimensions are across …
