Speech intelligibility scores for time compressed PB words were determined for 28 young and old subjects having either normal or sensorineural hearing losses. The discrimination of time compressed words was, not affected differentially by the nature of the subject’s hearing ability. However, time compression attenuated the performance of the aged more than the young, and this difference increased as the amount of compression was increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
