We aim at developing an objective intelligibility measure (OIM) to predict speech intelligibility (SI) for individual elderly hearing impaired (HI) listeners. We proposed a new OIM called Gammachirp Envelope Similarity Index (GESI) which consisted of the gammachirp filterbank (GCFB), a modulation filterbank (MFB), and an extended cosine similarity metric. The level difference between the reference and test sounds were took into account for the SI prediction unlike many conventional OIMs such as STOI and ESTOI. SI experiments were performed in laboratory and crowdsourced remote environments to clarify the effects of peripheral dysfunction. Noisy speech sounds were processed to simulate the average HL of 70- and 80-year-olds using Wadai Hearing Impairment Simulator (WHIS). They were presented together with the unprocessed sounds and -20,dB level reduced sounds. The results showed that the difference between the unprocessed and -20,dB was much greater in the remote experiments than in the laboratory ones although the same stimuli were used. GESI consistently predicted the results in the both experiments very well. STOI and ESTOI completely failed to predict the both results. HASPI failed to predict the remote results. GESI has the potential to explain the SI of individual HI listeners when setting the hearing level and controlling the parameters corresponding to the sound level above the threshold. |
