Listening Effort With Cochlear Implant Simulations [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose Fitting a cochlear implant (CI) for optimal speech perception does not necessarily optimize listening effort. This study aimed to show that listening effort may change between CI processing c...
Acoustic and Semantic Enhancements for Children With Cochlear Implants [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose In this study, the authors examined how signal clarity interacts with the use of sentence context information in determining speech-in-noise recognition for children with cochlear implants an...
Roles of Voice Onset Time and F0 in Stop Consonant Voicing Perception: Effects of Masking Noise and Low-Pass Filtering [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose The contributions of voice onset time (VOT) and fundamental frequency (F0) were evaluated for the perception of voicing in syllable-initial stop consonants in words that were low-pass filtere...
The Effect of Hearing Loss on the Perception of Infant- and Adult-Directed Speech [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose Infant-directed speech (IDS) facilitates language learning in infants with normal hearing, compared to adult-directed speech (ADS). It is well established that infants with normal hearing pre...
Visual Information Can Hinder Working Memory Processing of Speech [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the new Cognitive Spare Capacity Test (CSCT), which measures aspects of working memory capacity for heard speech in the audiovisual and audito...
Perceptual Development of Nasal Consonants in Children With Normal Hearing and in Children Who Use Cochlear Implants [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose This study was conducted to determine whether the perceptions of nasal consonants in children with normal hearing and children with cochlear implants were predicted by the discontinuity hypot...
Children's Identification of Consonants in a Speech-Shaped Noise or a Two-Talker Masker [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose To evaluate child–adult differences for consonant identification in a noise or a 2-talker masker. Error patterns were compared across age and masker type to test the hypothesis that errors wi...
Task Difficulty Differentially Affects Two Measures of Processing Load: The Pupil Response During Sentence Processing and Delayed Cued Recall of the S... 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose In this study, the authors assessed the influence of masking level (29% or 71% sentence perception) and test modality on the processing load during language perception as reflected by the pup...
The Contribution of Matched Envelope Dynamic Range to the Binaural Benefits in Simulated Bilateral Electric Hearing [Research Note] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose This study examined the effects of envelope dynamic-range mismatch on the intelligibility of Mandarin speech in noise by simulated bilateral electric hearing. Method Noise-vocoded Mandarin ...
Toward Improved Spectral Measures of /s/: Results From Adolescents [Article] 8 Aug 2013 | 12:29 am
Purpose This article introduces theoretically driven acoustic measures of /s/ that reflect aerodynamic and articulatory conditions. The measures were evaluated by assessing whether they revealed expe...
