Listener ratings of the intelligibility of tracheoesophageal speech in noise.

Abstract:

:The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which listener ratings of the intelligibility of tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) speech vary as a function of different signal-to-noise ratios. Fifty college students, 25 men and 25 women (Median age = 19.7 years) participated in the study. They were instructed to assign numbers to audio-recorded speech samples in each of nine signal-to-noise ratio conditions (+65 dB, +20 dB, +15 dB, +10 dB, +5 dB, 0 dB, -5 dB, -10 dB, and -15 dB) in two separate magnitude estimation scaling tasks. During Task 1 the subjects rated the intelligibility of a TEP speech sample. In Task 2 the subjects rated the intelligibility of a normal speech sample. The results indicated that as the levels of background noise increased, listener ratings of intelligibility decreased (F 8,392 = 37.84; p < or = .0001).

  • Intelligibility of older versus younger adults' CVC productions.

    abstract::In studies of aging voice, listeners have reported that older speakers articulate less precisely than younger speakers.
