The effects of adding realism to a conventional speech-in-noise test
(2014)
The speech reception threshold (SRT) is routinely used in
research and in the clinic to assess people’s ability to
understand speech in noise. The overall goal of this work was
to determine whether introducing realistic ...
Towards more cognitively challenging speech tests
(2013)
Speech tests are often poor predictors of the
performance of individual listeners in the real world. This
may be in part because they do not adequately engage
all of the auditory and cognitive processes involved in
real ...
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(International Journal of Audiology, 2014)
There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate challenging real-world listeneing envrionments.
Development and preliminary evaluation of a new test of ongoing speech comprehension
(2015)
Objective: The overall goal of this work is to create new speech perception tests that more closely resemble real world communication
and offer an alternative or complement to the commonly used sentence recall test. Design: ...
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(2015)
Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate
challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ...
Eliciting natural conversational Lombard speech in realistic acoustic environments
(2016)
▶ Speech intelligibility tests, which are commonly used in the
audiology clinic and in research, do not reflect what people
experience outside the clinic.
▶ Speech intelligibility tests may be poor predictors of
communication ...
Measuring communication effort in speech variability
(. Fourth International Conference on Cognitive Hearing Science for Communication (CHSCOM). Linköping, Sweden, 2017)
Interactive conversation is one of the most important activities
that is affected by hearing impairment.
• Measures of effort are important, in terms of both listening and
communication, in understanding hearing ...
Evaluation of the NAL dynamic conversations test in older listeners with hearing loss
(International Journal of Audiology, 2017)
The National Acoustic Laboratories Dynamic Conversations Test (NAL-DCT) is a new test of speech comprehension that
incorporates a realistic environment and dynamic speech materials that capture certain features of everyday ...
Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
(2018)
This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent,
dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying
complexities. Our aim is to quantify ...
