Disentangling peripheral hearing loss from central and cognitive effects on speech intelligibility in older adults
Toshio Irino, Ayako Yamamoto, Fuki Miyazaki
Age-related hearing loss (HL) reduces speech intelligibility (SI) in older adults (OAs). However, deficits in central and cognitive processing also substantially impact SI. Underst…

Predicting speech intelligibility in older adults for speech enhancement using the Gammachirp Envelope Similarity Index, GESI
Ayako Yamamoto, Fuki Miyazaki, Toshio Irino
We propose an objective intelligibility measure (OIM), called the Gammachirp Envelope Similarity Index (GESI), that can predict speech intelligibility (SI) in older adults. GESI is…

Signal processing algorithm effective for sound quality of hearing loss simulators
Toshio Irino, Shintaro Doan, Minami Ishikawa
Hearing loss (HL) simulators, which allow normal hearing (NH) listeners to experience HL, have been used in speech intelligibility experiments, but not in sound quality experiments…
