This project assessed electroacoustic benefit for speech recognition with a competing talker.
Using a cochlear implant subject with normal hearing in the contralateral ear, the contribution of low-pass and high-pass natural sound to speech recognition was systematically measured.
High-frequency sound did not improve performance, but low-frequency sound did, even when unintelligible and limited to frequencies below 150 Hz.
The low-frequency sound assists separation of the two talkers, presumably using the fundamental frequency cue. Extrapolating this finding to regular cochlear implant users may suggest that using a hearing aid on the contralateral ear will improve performance, even with limited residual hearing.
本项目评估了在有干扰者的情况下,电声学对言语识别的益处。
利用对侧耳正常听力的人工耳蜗植入受试者,系统地测量了低通和高通自然声对言语识别的贡献。
高频声音不能提高性能,但低频声音可以,即使声音不可理解且限于 150Hz 以下。
低频声音有助于两个说话者的分离,可能是利用了基频线索。将这一发现推断到普通人工耳蜗使用者身上,可能表明即使残余听力有限,使用对侧耳的助听器也会提高性能。
