| Abstract(in English) | Recently, high-speed multimedia communication systems have become widespread. Not only conventional narrow band speech signal (up to 4kHz) but also wide band speech signal can be transmitted through the high-speed communication lines. Generally, the quality of wide band speech signal is high and its articulation score is good for normal-hearing people. But for elderly people who have hearing losses in higher frequencies, the effect of wide band speech is doubtful. Therefore, we investigated the effect of wide band phone speech on the elderly people's speech perception in terms of articulation. And we also considered the effect of amplitude compression method that is used for hearing aids. Consequently we found that the combination of wide band speech and amplitude compression could contribute to the improvement of articulation for elderly people. |
