  1. Neural Correlates of Auditory -Visual Speech Perception in Noise

    Gilbert, JaimieUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    Speech perception in noise may be facilitated by presenting the concurrent optic stimulus of observable speech gestures. Objective measures such as event-related potentials (ERPs) are crucial to understanding the processes underlying a facilitation of auditory-visual speech perception. Previous …

  2. Effects of Voice Quality and Face Information on Infants' Speech Perception in Noise

    Versele, JessicaVirginia Tech2009

    … and Molnar (2008) found that 6- to 8-month-old infants do not discriminate a simple native consonant-vowel contrast when familiarized to it in the presence of distraction noise (i.e., recordings of crickets and birds chirping), even when testing was conducted in quiet. Because the distraction …

  3. The Audiometric Profile of Young Adults Who Report Difficulty with Speech Perception in Noise

    Higgins, Michael RThe Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York2015

    <p>This study examined speech perception abilities in young adults (18-24 years) who reported having difficulty perceiving speech in the presence of background noise despite clinically-normal hearing. The purpose of this study was to compare the audiometric profile of young adults with and without …

  4. Temporal resolution and speech perception in noise of adults with and without HIV with normal audiometric results

    University of Pretoria2019

    … Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic is now in its third decade and it is growing to be one of the greatest health challenges the world has to face. At the end of 2018, the UNAIDS estimated that there were about 37.9 million people globally infected with HIV and AIDS. It was also estimated in …

  6. Sensory and cognitive contributions to speech perception in background noise in young adults

    Kamdar, Sangeeta C.The University of Texas at Austin2018

    In the present study, speech perception in background noise was investigated by asking participants to perform listening tasks in two target speech contexts. Each target speech context was presented in four listening environments. External factors within each listening environment were manipulated, …

  7. Cochlear Implantation as a Treatment Option for Adults with Post-lingual Single Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review of the Literature

    Bader, ElveraThe Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York2017

    <p>Adults with post lingual single sided deafness experience a myriad of issues as a result of their condition. Speech perception in noise and localization are well documented as being compromised in this population due to the loss of binaural auditory input. Cochlear implantation was introduced in …

  8. Sensory and Cognitive Declines in Older Adults: A Longitudinal Study

    Bauer, Melanie Storm2015

    <p>In a recent cross-sectional study, as has been found in numerous previous studies, Sommers et al.: 2011) found that age-related declines in hearing, as assessed by pure-tone thresholds, begin around age 20 and continue across the lifespan. In another article published from the same …

  9. Beyond hearing aid fitting: Investigating the feasibility of providing tele-rehabilitation for adult hearing aid users in a South African public health context

    Khatib, NuhaDepartment of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences2021

    Introduction: Disabling hearing loss is one of the most common sensory deficits; affecting approximately 466 million people worldwide. In the South African context, public health facilities have an uneven ratio between audiologists and patients in need and thus audiological services are often …

  10. Speech perception in a sparse domain

    Li, GuopingUniversity of Southampton2008

    … statistics are known to be important factors shaping our perceptual system. The visual and auditory systems have evolved to be efficient for processing natural images or speech. The common characteristics between natural images and speech are that they are both highly structured, therefore having …

  11. Tinnitus and Decreased Subcortical and Cortical Inhibition

    Morse, Kenneth Vincent

    <p>Background: The perception of tinnitus may be triggered by a reduction in inhibitory function in the central auditory nervous system. Evidence, primarily from invasive studies of animal models of tinnitus, indicates that these changes occur at both the subcortical and cortical level. Auditory …

  12. Speech Perception in “Bubble” Noise: Korean Fricatives and Affricates By Native and Non-native Korean Listeners

    Choi, JiyoungThe Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York2018

    <p>The current study examines acoustic cues used by second language learners of Korean to discriminate between Korean fricatives and affricates in noise and how these cues relate to those used by native Korean listeners. Stimuli consist of naturally-spoken consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel (CVCV) …
