Lauren Petley; Chelsea Blankenship; Lisa L. Hunter; Hannah J. Stewart; Li Lin; David R. Moore – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Amplitude modulations (AMs) are important for speech intelligibility, and deficits in speech intelligibility are a leading source of impairment in childhood listening difficulties (LiD). The present study aimed to explore the relationships between AM perception and speech-in-noise (SiN) comprehension in children and to determine whether…

Hoyoung Yi; Moumita Choudhury; Candace Hicks – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the impacts of a surgical mask and a transparent mask on audio-only and audiovisual speech intelligibility in noise (i.e., 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio) in individuals with mild-to-profound hearing loss. The study also examined if individuals with hearing loss can benefit from using a transparent…

Ma, Estella P.-M.; Tse, Mandy M.-S.; Momenian, Mohammad; Pu, Dai; Chen, Felix F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of dysphonic voice on speech intelligibility in Cantonese-speaking adults. Method: Speech recordings from three speakers with dysphonia secondary to phonotrauma and three speakers with healthy voices were presented to 30 healthy listeners (15 men and 15 women; M[subscript age] = 22.7 years) under…

Tamati, Terrin N.; Pisoni, David B.; Moberly, Aaron C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This preliminary research examined (a) the perception of two common sources of indexical variability in speech--regional dialects and foreign accents, and (b) the relation between indexical processing and sentence recognition among prelingually deaf, long-term cochlear implant (CI) users and normal-hearing (NH) peers. Method: Forty-three…

Chen, Yuchun; Lin, Wen-Jing – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Background: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) demonstrate deficits in vocabulary development and novel word learning processes, which have been proposed to stem from their speech perception deficits. Aims: This study had two aims. The first was to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention incorporating a computer-based phonetic…

Whitehead, Robert L.; Schiavetti, Nicholas; MacKenzie, Douglas J.; Metz, Dale Evan – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2004
This study investigated the overall intelligibility of speech produced during simultaneous communication (SC). Four hearing, experienced sign language users were recorded under SC and speech alone (SA) conditions speaking Boothroyd's (1985) forced-choice phonetic contrast material designed for measurement of speech intelligibility. Twelve…
