Disease relevance of Speech Intelligibility

 

High impact information on Speech Intelligibility

  • Speech intelligibility in quiet and CCITT noise from the side (+/-90 degrees ) was assessed using the German HSM sentence test and was significantly better when using bilateral CI in comparison with either unilateral CI, mainly due to a head shadow effect [5].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Test results demonstrate speech-to-noise ratio has a significant effect on speech intelligibility of the CAT items under all conditions [6].
  • RESULTS: Improvement in function including speech intelligibility was seen following the intrathecal baclofen trial [7].
  • These corrected noise levels were then used to calculate an Articulation Index using the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII, ) [8].
  • In Experiment 2 the hearing-impaired subjects showed a significant preference for the hearing aid setting with a long release time (4 sec) and a low compression threshold (20 dB SPL), both with regard to sound quality and speech intelligibility [9].

Associations of Speech Intelligibility with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Speech Intelligibility

  • CONCLUSION: In pediatric cochlear implantees, GJB2-related deafness is a predictor of good speech intelligibility [15].
  • The effect on speech intelligibility of sensorineural hearing-impaired listeners of two principal-component compression system implementations, compression of PC1 and compression of both PC1 and PC2, was compared to that of linear amplification (LA), independent compression of multiple bands (MBC), and wideband compression (WC) [16].
  • Speech intelligibility was measured in quiet at three sound levels (50, 65, and 80 dB SPL), and speech reception thresholds (SRTs) in 12-talker babble were measured under monaurally and binaurally aided conditions, with the speech and babble both coincident and spatially separated [17].
  • This study also indicated that measuring speech intelligibility at MCL approximated PB max (+/- 12 percent) only about two-third of the time [18].
  • Open-set monosyllabic CNC word perception in quiet and Speech Intelligibility Test sentence perception in noise was evaluated at the end of each of the time intervals [19].
