摘要: 目的: 探讨在普通话语境下WDRC(宽动态范围压缩算法)低频释放时间对助听器佩戴者言语识别率的影响。方法: 将低频释放时间设置为50、100、200、400、800 ms五个组,分别在3种掩蔽噪声下进行实验,共形成15组实验条件。以听力障碍者作为实验对象,以普通话言语仿真声作为测试音,通过仿真平台输出,在特定的噪声条件下测试言语识别率。结果: WDRC低频释放时间设置为400 ms时,听障者言语识别率最佳;Babble Noise(多说话人噪声)对听力障碍者的噪声下言语识别率有显著影响。结论: 在普通话语境下低频区间时间常数与噪声类型都会影响听力障碍者的普通话言语识别率。Abstract: Objective: To investigate the influence of low frequency release time of WDRC(wide dynamic range compression)to speech recognition score (SRS) of deaf subjects with hearing aids in mandarin language environment.Method: Release time constants are set differently from the values of 50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms, 400 ms and 800 ms in low frequency (LF) channel, with 3 kinds of shaped noise, combining a certain LF release time constant with a certain shaped noise forms 15 different groups of experimental conditions. The testing material is mandarin sentences which are the outputs of simulation in the 15 different release time combinations.Result: If the release time is set the value of 400 ms, the patients with hearing aids can get the best mandarin speech intelligibility; the type of babble noise have significant effects on mandarin SRS.Conclusion: Statistical analysis of test results shows that the release time in LF channel or the type of shaped noise trends to influence mandarin SRS.
