| ABSTRACT |
|
The purpose of the present study was to investigate how the sentence recognition scores (SRSs) in noise are
changed as a function of the compression ratios (CRs) and what CR is preferred by the individual listeners in terms
of sound quality when speech is presented in quiet. Participants consisted of 31 individuals with sensorineural
hearing loss ranging in age from 65 to 85 years (mean = 77.0 years) and divided by two groups according to their
hearing aids; hearing aid used or non-used. Korean Standard Sentences mixed with white noise of +6 and 0 dB
signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and varied 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 CR with attack time of 2 msec and release time of 5
msec were presented in most comfortable level. Results showed that SRSs were significant for the SNRs, but the
other variables did not differ significantly on the SRS and sound quality including CR. However, analysis of
individual participant data, highest SRS and most preferred sound quality was observed in 2:1 CR. Conclusively, this
results may help to determine of compression ratio of non-linear hearing aid for Korean hearing impaired. |
