“…Condition HP gives a 73.5% improvement in recognition relative to condition LP, increasing the WRR to 62.1%. This result is consistent with other implementations of the R-SPIN test [1,20]. For condition LP+SFX the WRR increases to 60.7%.…”

“…R-SPIN utilises sentences with controlled predictability; containing either low or high amounts of semantic context. R-SPIN results have shown that word recognition is, on average, 40-45% higher when semantic context is present [20]. Recent work has utilised R-SPIN to demonstrate the interaction between semantic cues and pictorial situation-based cues on listening and lip-reading [1].…”

The Effect of Situation-Specific Non-Speech Acoustic Cues on the Intelligibility of Speech in Noise

In everyday life, speech is often accompanied by a situationspecific acoustic cue; a hungry bark as you ask 'Has anyone fed the dog?'. This paper investigates the effect such cues have on speech intelligibility in noise and evaluates their interaction with the established effect of situation-specific semantic cues. This work is motivated by the introduction of new object-based broadcast formats, which have the potential to optimise intelligibility by controlling the level of individual broadcast audio elements, at point of service. Results of this study show that situation-specific acoustic cues alone can improve word recognition in multi-talker babble by 69.5%, a similar amount to semantic cues. The combination of both semantic and acoustic cues provide further improvement of 106.0% compared with no cues, and 18.7% compared with semantic cues only. Interestingly, whilst increasing subjective intelligibility of the target word, the presence of acoustic cues degraded the objective intelligibility of the speech-based semantic cues by 47.0% (equivalent to reducing the speech level by 4.5 dB). This paper discusses the interactions between the two types of cues and the implications that these results have for assessing and improving the intelligibility of broadcast speech.

“…The R-SPIN paradigm used in the current study was a modifi cation of the traditional R-SPIN that over the course of a list pair (45 target words in both HP and LP sentences) involved the presentation of 10 words at each of nine SNRs from 23 to Ϫ 1 dB (Wilson et al, 2012). (Note: because nine SNRs were involved, only 45 of the 50 sentences of each R-SPIN list were used.)…”

“…A second purpose was to compare performances on these two paradigms by listeners with normal hearing and by listeners with hearing loss for pure tones. The r evised speech perception in noise (R-SPIN) 2 materials (Kalikow et al, 1977;Bilger, 1984;Bilger et al, 1984) in a multiple SNR paradigm (Wilson et al, 2012) were selected for study. The R-SPIN, which is a word-recognition test in multitalker babble that uses a sentence paradigm in which the last word in the sentence is the target word, has two types of sentences: (1) high-predictability (HP) sentences or words 3 , which provide syntactic, semantic, and prosodic cues that help predict the target word, and (2) low-predictability (LP) sentences, which provide little, if any, cues in the sentence that help predict the target word.…”

Vocal motor control and central auditory impairments in unilateral vocal fold paralysis

et al. 2018

Objectives To evaluate differences in vocal motor control and central auditory processing between treated unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and healthy control cohorts. Study Design Cross‐sectional. Methods Ten UVFP study patients treated by type I thyroplasty with stable voices were compared to 12 control subjects for vocal motor control using a pitch perturbation response task and central auditory processing performance using a battery of complex sound intelligibility assays that included adverse temporal and noise conditions. Standard clinical evaluations of voice production and peripheral audiometric sensitivity were performed. Results Vocal motor control was impaired in treated UVFP. The UVFP cohort exhibited a 32.5% reduction in the instantaneous, subconscious compensatory response to pitch feedback perturbation in the interval between 150 ms and 550 ms following onset (P < 0.0001, linear mixed effects model). This impairment cannot simply be ascribed to vocal motor capacity insufficiency in the UVFP cohort because both cohorts demonstrated comparable functional capacity to perform the vocal motor task. The UVFP cohort also showed greater propensity for central auditory processing impairment (P < 0.05), notably for temporal compression and added noise challenges. Conclusion Combined central vocal motor control and auditory processing impairments in treated UVFP highlight reciprocal interdependency of sensory and motor systems. This pilot study suggests that peripheral motor impairment of the larynx can degrade central auditory processing, which in turn may contribute to vocal motor control impairment. A more complete restoration communicative function in UVFP will require deeper understanding of sensory, motor, and sensorimotor aspects of the human communication loop.
