Effects of speech rate, background noise, and simulated hearing loss on speech rate judgment and speech intelligibility in young listeners.

abstract：:Auditory training has long been advocated to enhance communication but has never been time or cost-effective. This article describes the concepts underlying the development of a home-based, interactive adaptive computer program designed to engage the adult hearing-impaired listener in the hearing-aid-fitting process, ...
