Examining The Effect Of Talker Familiarity Using Familiar And Unfamiliar Talkers On Noise-Vocoded Speech Perception In Normal-Hearing Listeners: A Training Study, Daria N. Collins
Examining The Effect Of Talker Familiarity Using Familiar And Unfamiliar Talkers On Noise-Vocoded Speech Perception In Normal-Hearing Listeners: A Training Study, Daria N. Collins
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Auditory training studies utilizing stimuli that are applicable to real-world processing of speech have been shown to improve speech perception abilities in normal hearing populations, those with hearing loss, and cochlear implant wearers. In particular, exposing normal hearing adults to noise-vocoded speech via auditory training studies has been shown to not only simulate the perceptual experience of a cochlear implant wearer, but have demonstrated promising improvements on speech perceptual abilities via the training paradigm. Additionally, studies have highlighted various variables that impact speech perception, including, talker familiarity. Talker familiarity has been shown to enhance speech perception both in listeners with …

Auditory training has been shown to be an intervention strategy that may improve speech perception abilities in individuals with and without hearing loss. Within the cohort of individuals with hearing loss, auditory training has also been shown to have an improvement on speech perception in cochlear implant users. In several training studies, normal-hearing listeners have been exposed to noise-vocoded speech using auditory training paradigms to mimic how cochlear implant users may in turn be affected by these paradigms. These studies have highlighted certain areas for improvement in speech perception abilities based off of the training paradigms put in place. Several …
