Abstract:

The field of Cognitive Hearing Science examines the relationship between cognitive, linguistic, and hearing functions. Although these areas are of particular importance to speech-language pathology, few studies have investigated applications of cognitive hearing science to clinical practice. The purpose of this review article is to (1) explore and present a summary of cognitive hearing science techniques for dual-task and hearing-in-noise procedures and implications to speech-language pathology, and (2) provide a clinical guide for speech-language pathology in adult multitasking intervention with noise. It is well understood that areas of cognitive skill and hearing function decline with age; therefore, additional understanding of the relationship of these functions is of particular importance to speech-language pathologists working with older individuals. This article meets the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's (ASHA's) Special Interest Group (SIG) 15's mission of “research-to-practice” professional development by “promoting understanding of the effects of normal and pathological aging on cognition, language […] and hearing” (ASHA, 2017), and is intended to be of interest to the SIG 15 readership.

Abstract:

Rehabilitation of hearing and speech represents a theory that needs to be confirmed, and also the practice, also a process which is in continuous progress. It is simultaneously a science (research activity), the profession, school subject, issue, principle and method. Continuously be upgraded, and the search for new knowledge. Deaf and severely hearing-impaired people are often deprived from birth hearing and listening skills, and thus the ability to successfully speaking, standard, oral-vocal speech, language or hearing. In the absence of hearing, their psychological structure has been changed, so methods of learning that are used to hearing children, for them have no or have very small use. Therefore, the rehabilitation theory and practice need to seek for new methods, programming models, test materials, and researching the effectiveness of these methods in teaching speech and language skills of hearing impaired population. In this book, besides the general scientific, theoretical and practical regularity, related to the subject of Speech and Hearing Rehabilitation, are described the anatomical and physiological basis of auditory organs, and organs to speak, and the essential characteristics of the hearing impairment, ways of communications, education and rehabilitation in relation to general characteristics of hearing impaired persons. It describes the communication of the deaf and hard of hearing as a determinant of rehabilitation, rehabilitation of hearing as a determinant of learning speech and language, speech and language as a determinant of communication and speech-language education as a determinant of rehabilitation. The importance of programming in the rehabilitation of hearing and speech is highlighted, and new, paradigmatic-pragmatic methods in speech-language rehabilitation of the deaf and severely hard of hearing people is described. From a scientific point of view, programming of dynamic rehabilitation content, has or may have a direct scientific contribution to the psychological development of deaf and severely hearing-impaired population. By development of deaf person, the possibility of regulating the relation between a deaf person-society and vice versa is opened. The results of research of the use of programmed dynamic content in rehabilitation showed a significant movement to improve linguistic competence and quality in the communication of the deaf and severely hard of hearing people with hearing world. Dynamic methodological approaches in speech-language education of deaf and hearing-impaired children, it provides easier learning of all elements of speech and language, primarily phonology and morphology, and semantics, syntax, grammar and language of the hearing community.

Abstract:

People are often the main focus of speech and hearing science. That being so, it is essential that scholars in the field recognize that all people are active participants in a larger sociocultural context. This context has an effect on how we refer to, describe, and study people from different backgrounds. Because of this, research and pedagogy in speech and hearing science have a responsibility to recognize and integrate this context into their practices. This presentation will focus specifically on the usage of terminology that describes different social and cultural groups. I will first review examples of the terminological history of a few commonly encountered groups. This section will also serve as a practical resource for the current best practices for terminology usage in accordance with the groups’ preferences. Then, I will provide general recommendations for being culturally responsive to terminology usage in research and in the classroom, with examples from common topics taught in speech and hearing science classes.

Abstract:

AbstractUnderstanding speech in noise is difficult for individuals with normal hearing and is even more so for individuals with hearing loss. Difficulty understanding speech in noise is one of the primary reasons people seek hearing assistance. Despite amplification, many hearing aid users still struggle to understand speech in noise. In response to this persistent problem, hearing aid manufacturers have invested significantly in developing new solutions. Any solution is not without its tradeoffs, and decisions must be made when optimizing and implementing them. Much of this happens behind the scenes, and casual observers fail to appreciate the nuances of developing new hearing aid technologies. The difficulty of communicating this information to clinicians may hinder the use or the fine-tuning of the various technologies available today. The purpose of this issue of Seminars in Hearing is to educate professionals and students in audiology, hearing science, and engineering about different approaches to combat problems related to environmental and wind noise using technologies that include classification, directional microphones, binaural signal processing, beamformers, motion sensors, and machine learning. To accomplish this purpose, some of the top researchers and engineers from the world's largest hearing aid manufacturers agreed to share their unique insights.

Abstract:

The purpose of this case study is to investigate the bimodal benefits and clinical applications of bimodal hearing aid fitting. Bimodal hearing aid fitting was conducted with four bimodal cochlear implant adults. In order to evaluate bimodal benefits, speech recognition tests in quiet and noise conditions and “Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ)” questionnaire were performed before and 1 month after bimodal hearing aid fitting. Four cases showed critical improvements in speech recognition tests and SSQ questionnaire scores. Four bimodal users showed improvement in speech perception and SSQ questionnaire after bimodal fitting. Clinical application of bimodal hearing aid fitting will be necessary to improve bimodal benefits and maintain good audibility of the contralateral ear of bimodal users.

Abstract:

Background. Severe hearing loss can affect speech perception in children, and hearing aids as a medical device may help improve speech perception in children. Objective. To explore the effects of fitting hearing aids (HAs) on speech perception in children with severe hearing loss (60–70 dB HL). Methods. Ninety-five children with bilateral severe hearing loss who were fitted bilaterally with HAs before the age of 3 years were followed up. The subjects were grouped according to their age at the time of fitting, i.e., <1, 1–2 , and 2–3 years groups. The Mandarin Early Speech Perception test was used to evaluate speech perception of Mandarin monosyllabic words at 12, 24, and 36 months after fitting. Results. There were significant improvements in vowel, consonant, and tone perception scores from 12 to 36 months after fitting HAs in the three age groups, and the mean score at 36 months after fitting was significantly improved at >85%. The mean speech pattern and spondee perception scores averaged at >90% at 12 months after fitting and were comparable to the scores of 2-year-old children with normal hearing. Conclusions. HA helps with speech perception in children with severe hearing loss.

Abstract:

Background & Objectives: The widespread prevalence of hearing loss can leave restrictive impacts on the acoustic and psychoacoustic hearing components, language and speech development, education, and employment of those with hearing impairments. On the other hand, given that hearing aids are the most commonly used devices to help auditory rehabilitation, and speech is the most essential human interaction signal, the examination of hearing aid’s frequency responses and the capability of intensity reconstruction of speech signals according to the existing standards are of utmost importance. The present study was conducted to compare hearing aid’s performance with two prescription formulas, at three input intensity levels, and two hearing loss configurations. Methods: Using the FRYE FP35 analyzer, the present study examined two Phonak Bolero B50 hearing aids fitted with two prescription formulas (NAL-NL2 and DSLi/o v5) for two degrees of hearing loss (mild to moderately severe and moderately severe to severe) presented with intensity-filtered ISTS speech signals at three input intensities (50, 65, and 80 dB SPL). Results: The DSLi/o v5 formula prescribed higher average gain and intensity reconstruction for both hearing loss degrees and at all three input intensities compared with the NAL-NL2 formula. Conclusion: Depending on the purpose of gain prescription, whether the loudness is important or speech intelligibility, the choice of an appropriate fitting formula can be affected.

Abstract:

The ear, as an organ of hearing, can be damaged or have problems during intrauterine development. As a result, hearing is impaired, which negatively affects speech, mental development and the communication process in children. Schoolchildren with special educational needs (SEN), suffer not only from general speech disorders and phonetic speech disorders but are mainly related to the damage of the higher cortical centers of the brain responsible for speech, as well as to hearing problems. The latter can be alleviated by using hearing aids at the early stage or by performing a cochlear implantation process. However, a question suggests itself. Do families that have children with such problems cope with their social and financial problems? An issue requiring public attention and care and is directly related to the improvement of education quality.

Abstract:

The history of speech-language pathology as a profession encompasses a tradition of knowledge generation. In recent years, the quantity of speech science research and the presence of speech scientists within the domain of the American Speech-Hearing-Language Association (ASHA) has diminished, even as ASHA membership and the size of the ASHA Convention have grown dramatically. The professional discipline of speech science has become increasingly fragmented, yet speech science coursework is an integral part of the mandated curriculum. Establishing an active, vibrant community structure will serve to aid researchers, educators, and clinicians as they work in the common area of speech science.

Abstract:

Speech and language delay are usually found in various disorders such as mental retardation, hearing impairment, psychosocial, autism, receptive aphasia and cerebral palsy and speech organ disorders. Retrospective research at Dr. Kariadi Hospital found that children aged 13 months to 60 months with complaints of speech problems that were subjected to an objective audiometric examination showed that 79.1% had hearing loss. This research aims to determine the relationship of risk factors with speech and language delays in children. This research was conducted in April 2020 using the cross-sectional with suspicion of late speaking who were examined by Brain evoked response audiometry (BERA) at Dr Kariadi Hospital Semarang. Researchers assessed the delay with the Languange evaluation Scale Trivandum (LEST) questionnaire. Researchers analyzed the data with chi-square test, fisher’s exact. The sample was 80 patients with the mean age was 22.35 months. Mostly in men (67.5%). The most common risk factor was hearing impairment. Hearing impairmentwas associated with speech and language delay. Economic status and bilingual were not associated with speech and language delay in children.

Abstract:

Speech and Gesture recognition systems constitute an ideal aid for the disabled with speech and hearing impairments. Approximately, there are 466 million people in the world with hearing impairment and around 16 million with speech impairment. They require an external aid to recognize their speech and gestures, to express their thoughts and ideas to the world. The proposed Speech and Gesture Recognition System (SGRS) takes forward to solve the communication barriers faced by the disabled subjects, by recognizing both the speech and gestures of the subjects with promising accuracy using the convolutional neural network. The proposed SGRS model is competent to convert the sign-language into pictures and speech to text as well with high accuracy. Thus, SGRS can be a suitable aid for the subjects with speech and hearing impairment. SGRS has been evaluated with standard evaluation scores such as validation accuracy, validation loss, recall, precision and F1-score and has been proved to be proficient.

Abstract:

It is now almost 60 years since Doreen Kimura first described the asymmetries of the human auditory system (HAS). It is 30 years since Kenneth Hugdahl, and almost 15 years since David Poeppel, did the same. Our knowledge of these asymmetries is now considerable and detailed. Here we review some of the literature concerning what is known about the asymmetry of the HAS, and use it to construct a simple model of how the central and peripheral components work together. The model details some of the asymmetry, the life-experience-dependant maturation of this asymmetry throughout the first two decades, possible reasons for the population variance in speech-in-noise perception, the central role of the corpus callosum, the involvement of the efferent auditory pathways, and the corticofugal control of the peripheral auditory system. Although our knowledge of HAS asymmetry remains incomplete, this should not prevent the introduction of required changes to the current practices of audiologists and auditory science researchers, practices which fail to recognize the existence of any asymmetry in the HAS. The model described here suggests a clear need for: “asymmetry sensitive” hearing test tools that provide normative data for the lifespan, closer childhood and aging-adult hearing monitoring, and the development of a range of auditory training modules. Notably, the model suggests that without such tools our HAS asymmetry knowledge will remain incomplete. The status quo is a preoccupation with understanding hearing through knowledge of the peripheral hearing system, no answers for those with a “normal audiogram” but with an obvious difficulty hearing speech-in-noise, limited success cochlear implant rehabilitation, and missed opportunities to successfully intervene with childhood hearing/speech/language development problems.

Full text

Abstract:

Purpose: Sound is localized by two ears. People with bilaterally severe-to-profound hearing loss may struggle to identify the direction of a sound if their hearing device delivers sound only one ear due to the loss of binaural advantage. The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate the sound localization performance of people with unilateral cochlear implant users. Methods: Ten unilateral cochlear implant users and 10 normal hearing adults participated in this study. Sound localization tests were conducted using five stimuli (speech, speech with noise, 500 Hz warble tone, 1 kHz warble tone, and 4 kHz warble tone) presented from eight loud-speakers. Correct responses and root- mean-square errors were obtained to investigate the localization performances and error patterns. Additional factors including the Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire were also analyzed. Results: Localization performance was significantly poor in the unilateral cochlear implant group showing polar patterns toward their hearing side. While the normal hearing group showed better localization for speech in quiet conditions compared to 500 Hz warble tone, the cochlear implant group did not show any statistical difference in performance across the stimuli due to their very poor performance. The Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire was associated with localization performance in limited conditions. Conclusion: The present study revealed that unilateral cochlear implant users correctly localize a sound at nearly chance levels. The Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire predict localization performance for unilateral cochlear implant users only for particular conditions.

Abstract:

Purpose This article reflects on a diversity and equity view of disability and offers a perspective on the representation of disability within speech and hearing sciences in terms of membership, research, and pedagogy. Conclusions All areas of representation can be improved to support American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's strategic objectives of increasing diversity of membership and improving cultural competence. American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is encouraged to collect data regarding disability status to inform understanding of disability representation and potentially increase positive exposure, retention, and recruitment of disabled professionals. Research can be impacted through use of participatory models and focusing on community experiences, diversity issues, and increased understanding of the impact of ableism on clinical practice. Finally, curriculum specific to disability issues is needed to support students' understanding of the variability inherent within the disability community and their role as clinicians in partnering with the disability community.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the qualification of the speech language and hearing therapists and their clinical performance with Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Methods: a descriptive, transversal, individual and contemporary study. Data were collected through a questionnaire, filled by twenty-four speech therapists, selected by a convenience sample. Content analysis was chosen for data study. Results: regarding access to the information media, all speech therapists in the sample presented the initiative to supply the absence of language training with Augmentative and Alternative Communication by different means. Regarding the dual focus on intervention, all speech therapists were favorable to this practice. However, according to experience, they reported resistance from the family, school and other therapists. The results showed two different types of introduction implementation and use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, predominantly formed by strategies contemplating the pragmatic use of language through the contextualization of significant activities for the user. The other way used the Picture Exchange Communication System. Conclusion: the speech-language and hearing therapists in the present study inserted different interlocutors in the intervention, guided by implicit or explicit linguistic principles, by theoretical frameworks specific to the area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication knowledge, by global neuromotor elements and, finally, by principles of functionality and general wellness.

Abstract:

Children with special needs have taken wider attentions in research, especially in finding solutions of how to improve their abilities in communication. The purpose of this research is to identify the challenges and barriers in speech production in English by students with hearing impairments in Pangkalpinang City. Investigation and documentation were the main stages in collecting data. The data were studied using a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Based on the foundation of phonetic theory by Collins and Mess (2019) regarding speech production and the character of children with hearing impairment by Dennis Fry, this research is aimed at analyzing the sounds produced by children with special needs. Experimental observation using Praat voice analyzer was carried out on students with three types of disabilities: students with vision impairment, with hearing impaired, and with mental or intellectual disability. The observation results showed that students with hearing impairments (partial and total deafness) were the main concern as their abilities in perceiving and producing speech gave them opportunities to communicate in English despite the barriers they had to face in pronouncing the words. As conclusion, students with hearing impairment both partial and total deafness produced their speech based on other vocal tracts due to their disability, and certain treatment in speech production should be suggested especially the phonemes involving internal articulators, including alveolar, velar, post-alveolar and nasal sounds. Proximities made in speech showed possibilities to refine their pronunciation.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 2016, the National Academies on Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released a report titled, “Hearing Health Care for Adults,” which detailed the challenges and provided recommendations for improving the access to affordable hearing care for adults in the United States. Arguably the most significant outcome from this report was the subsequent passage of the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act in 2017, which requires the Food and Drug Administration to develop regulations for a class of hearing aids that address mild to moderate hearing loss to be available for sale over the counter (OTC). While this presents an important step toward improving access and affordability of hearing treatment, it does not represent a complete solution. In fact, optimizing the new landscape of hearing care for individuals with hearing loss also may require new policy solutions. This article reflects on the progress achieved since the NASEM report and the policy issues that remain to improve accessibility and affordability of hearing care among older adults.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the Brazilian and international scientific productions by correlating Speech Language and Hearing Sciences and Psychoanalysis. A literature review was performed using the databases BVS, Scielo, Scopus and PubMed. The used descriptors were “Fonoaudiologia”, “Psicanálise”, “Comunicação”, “Speech Therapy”, “Psychoanalysis” and “Communication”, identifying 65 full articles between the years 1980 and 2015. The analysis was performed using a “Protocol for article classification”. It was verified that Original Articles are the most published type, SCOPUS and BVS being the most common databases. There is a predominance of articles in the Portuguese language, followed by English, French and German. Several specialties of Speech Language and Hearing Sciences presented interface with Psychoanalysis, especially Language and Neuropsychology. The studies were published mainly in Psychology journals, also found in the area of audiology and interdisciplinary area. This review showed the psychoanalytic interference in speech language and hearing clinic, highlighting the need for further studies correlating both areas that may contribute to the work of these professionals and, consequently, enable an improvement in the quality of life of psychic subjects.

Abstract:

In their everyday life, the speech recognition performance of human listeners is influenced by diverse factors, such as the acoustic environment, the talker and listener positions, possibly impaired hearing, and optional hearing devices. Prediction models come closer to considering all required factors simultaneously to predict the individual speech recognition performance in complex, that is, e.g. multi-source dynamic, acoustic environments. While such predictions may still not be sufficiently accurate for serious applications, such as, e.g. individual hearing aid fitting, they can already be performed. This raises an interesting question: What could we do if we had a perfect speech intelligibility model? In a first step, means to explore and interpret the predicted outcomes of large numbers of speech recognition experiments would be helpful, and large amounts of data demand an accessible, that is, easily comprehensible, representation. In this contribution, an interactive, that is, user manipulable, representation of speech recognition performance is proposed and investigated by means of a concrete example, which focuses on the listener’s head orientation and the spatial dimensions – in particular width and depth – of an acoustic scene. An exemplary modeling toolchain, that is, a combination of an acoustic model, a hearing device model, and a listener model, was used to generate a data set for demonstration purposes. Using the spatial speech recognition maps to explore this data set demonstrated the suitability of the approach to observe possibly relevant listener behavior. The proposed representation was found to be a suitable target to compare and validate modeling approaches in ecologically relevant contexts, and should help to explore possible applications of future speech recognition models. Ultimately, it may serve as a tool to use validated prediction models in the design of spaces and devices which take speech communication into account.

Abstract:

This paper describes four studies with a total of 114 individuals with hearing loss and 12 hearing controls that investigate the impact of audio quality parameters on voice telecommunications. These studies were first informed by a survey of 439 individuals with hearing loss on their voice telecommunications experiences. While voice telephony was very important, with high usage of wireless mobile phones, respondents reported relatively low satisfaction with their hearing devices’ performance for telephone listening, noting that improved telephone audio quality was a significant need. The studies cover three categories of audio quality parameters: (1) narrowband (NB) versus wideband (WB) audio; (2) encoding audio at varying bit rates, from typical rates used in today's mobile networks to the highest quality supported by these audio codecs; and (3) absence of packet loss to worst-case packet loss in both mobile and VoIP networks. Additionally, NB versus WB audio was tested in auditory-only and audiovisual presentation modes and in quiet and noisy environments. With WB audio in a quiet environment, individuals with hearing loss exhibited better speech recognition, expended less perceived mental effort, and rated speech quality higher than with NB audio. WB audio provided a greater benefit when listening alone than when the visual channel also was available. The noisy environment significantly degraded performance for both presentation modes, but particularly for listening alone. Bit rate affected speech recognition for NB audio, and speech quality ratings for both NB and WB audio. Packet loss affected all of speech recognition, mental effort, and speech quality ratings. WB versus NB audio also affected hearing individuals, especially under packet loss. These results are discussed in terms of the practical steps they suggest for the implementation of telecommunications systems and related technical standards and policy considerations to improve the accessibility of voice telephony for people with hearing loss.

Abstract:

Despite the significant contribution of hearing assistive devices, medications, and surgery to restoring auditory periphery, a large number of people with hearing loss still struggle with understanding speech. This leads many studies on speech perception to move towards the central auditory functions by looking at associated brain activities using macroscopic recording tools such as electroencephalography (EEG). Up until a few years ago, however, limitation has been given to the brain scientists who attempted to investigate speech perception mechanisms using the EEG. In particular, short duration of speech segments has inevitably been used to elicit auditory evoked potential, even though they were too brief to be considered as speech. Today, however, advance in neural engineering and better understanding of neural mechanism have better facilitated brain scientists to perform studies with running stream of continuous speech and expand the scope of EEG studies to include comprehension of more realistic speech envelope. The purpose of this study is to review literatures on neural tracking to speech envelope to discuss it in Audiology perspective. This review article consists of seven subjects including introduction, neural tracking theories, neural tracking measure, signal processing & analysis, literature review on neural tracking associated with hearing loss, application of neural tracking to audiology, and conclusion. We noted that neural tracking has potential to be used in clinical sets to objectively evaluate speech comprehension for people with hearing loss in the future.

Abstract:

AbstractMachine learning (ML) is transforming nearly every aspect of modern life including medicine and its subfields, such as hearing science. This article presents a brief conceptual overview of selected ML approaches and describes how these techniques are being applied to outstanding problems in hearing science, with a particular focus on auditory evoked potentials (AEPs). Two vignettes are presented in which ML is used to analyze subcortical AEP data. The first vignette demonstrates how ML can be used to determine if auditory learning has influenced auditory neurophysiologic function. The second vignette demonstrates how ML analysis of AEPs may be useful in determining whether hearing devices are optimized for discriminating speech sounds.

Abstract:

A shortage of individuals from racial or ethnic minority groups in speech, language, and hearing (SLH) professions limits the ability to best serve people of diverse cultures and creates health disparities (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2015; Anderson, 2016). To increase the diversity of SLH professionals, university programs must attract, retain, and graduate students from diverse backgrounds. The Speech and Hearing Sciences (SPHS) Department at Lamar University piloted a recruitment and retention program (2014–2016) entitled SPHS Cardinal Careers, which was named after the university department and mascot to connect potential candidates to the university. The purpose of this paper is to describe the pilot recruitment component of the program. Outcomes and future direction of the recruitment program are discussed.

Abstract:

Studies showing stronger scientific evidence related to speech, language and hearing pathology (SLP) have an impact on the prevention and rehabilitation of human communication and gained ground in SLP research agenda. In this paper we discuss some aspects and directions that should be considered for in-depth knowledge about speech, language and hearing needs in different population groups (age group, gender and other variables according to specific related disorders) for improved comprehensive care, successful efforts and effective use of financial and human resources. It is also discussed the decision making process for requesting complementary evaluations and tests, from routine to highly complex ones, that should be based on each test and/or procedure and their contribution to the diagnosis and therapeutic planning. In fact, it is crucial to have reliable parameters for planning, preventing and treating human communication and its related disorders. Epidemiology, biostatistics and social sciences can contribute with more specific information in human communication sciences and guide more specific studies on the international science and technology agenda, improving communication sciences involvement in the international health-related scientific scenario.

Abstract:

Because the hearing impaired often experience different degrees of hearing loss along with the loss of frequencies, the loudness compensation algorithm in hearing aids decomposes the speech signal and compensates with different frequency bands based on their audiograms. However, the speech quality of the compensated signal is unsatisfactory because the traditional filterbanks fail to fully consider the characteristics of human hearing and personalized hearing loss. In this study, an effective design for the gammachirp filterbank for the loudness compensation algorithm was proposed to improve the speech quality of hearing aids. Firstly, a multichannel gammachirp filterbank was employed to decompose the signals. Then, the adjacent bands were merged into one channel, guided by the proposed combination method. After obtaining the personalized filterbank, each band conducted a loudness compensation to match the requirements of the audiograms. The excellent advantage of the gammachirp filterbank is that it can simulate the characteristics of the basilar membrane. Furthermore, the novel channel combination method considers the information from the audiograms and the relationship between frequency ranges and speech intelligibility. The experimental results showed that the proposed multichannel gammachirp filterbank achieves better speech signal decomposition and synthesis, and good performance can be gained with fewer channels. The loudness compensation algorithm based on the gammachirp filterbank effectively improves sentence intelligibility. The sentence recognition rate of the proposed method is higher than that of a system with a gammatone filterbank by approximately 13%.

Abstract:

PurposeScientists in the speech, language, and hearing sciences rely on statistical analyses to help reveal complex relationships and patterns in the data collected from their research studies. However, data from studies in the fields of communication sciences and disorders rarely conform to the underlying assumptions of many traditional statistical methods. Fortunately, the field of statistics provides many mature statistical techniques that can be used to meet today's challenges involving complex studies of behavioral data from humans. In this review article, we highlight several techniques and general approaches with promising application to analyses in the speech and hearing sciences.MethodThe goal of this review article is to provide an overview of potentially underutilized statistical methods with promising application in the speech, language, and hearing sciences.ResultsWe offer suggestions to identify when alternative statistical approaches might be advantageous when analyzing proportion data and repeated measures data. We also introduce the Bayesian paradigm and statistical learning and offer suggestions for when a scientist might consider those methods.ConclusionModern statistical techniques provide more flexibility and enable scientists to ask more direct and informative research questions.
