Consonant recognition in quiet and in noise with aging among normal hearing listeners

Abstract: Consonant recognition in quiet and in noise was investigated as a function of age for essentially normal hearing listeners 21-68 years old, using the nonsense syllable test (NST) [Resnick et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1 58, S114 (1975)]. The subjects audited the materials in quiet and at S/N ratios of +10 and +5 dB at their most comfortable listening levels (MCLs). The MCLs approximated conversational speech levels and were not significantly different between the age groups. The effects of age group, S/N … Show more

“…Thus, our results replicate and extend the results of Gelfand et al, who found that aging produced a deterioration in consonant identification [15]. Aging significantly impaired consonant identification independent of age-related changes in audiometric thresholds, as in previous studies [4].…”

“…Confusion matrices for YNH subjects can be found in Woods et al [17]. Consistent with Gelfand et al's [15] observations, we found that consonant confusions were generally similar in the ONH and YNH groups. Table 2.…”

“…In the past several decades, many studies on speech perception in noise have been conducted to examine the effects of noise on speech recognition (Gelfand, 1986;Leek et al, 1987;Parikh and Loizou, 2005). Speech recognition generally declines in conditions wherein background interference is present.…”
