For assessing hearing aid algorithms, a method is sought to shift the threshold of a speech-
in-noise test to (mostly positive) signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) that allow discrimination …

Purpose This preliminary investigation compared effects of time compression on intelligibility
for male versus female talkers. We hypothesized that time compression would have a …

This study investigates the effect of speech rate on speech intelligibility for sentences. The
speech rate of sentences is converted by the software Adobe Audition with speech features …

In daily communication the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of speech and background noise is
usually positive. To evaluate the performance of hearing aids in such situations, a speech-in …

抄録 We have been investigating the effect of speech rate alteration on Japanese speech
intelligibility, especially the differences caused by phonetic feature. We evaluated this …
