Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We investigated how normal and hearing impaired listeners used lip-reading information when they listened to speech signals. To examine the effects of preceding vowel, three kinds of speech intelligibility tests, i.e. speech only (A condition), visual only (V condition) and speech and visual (AV condition), were conducted for normal and hearing impaired listeners. Nonsense monosyllables and nonsense VCV speech samples were used as speech signals. Results showed that the preceding vowel was useful for the lip-reading. Moreover, the results of asymmetric MDS(multidimensional scaling) showed that the effects of preceding vowel were different between normal and hearing impaired listeners, and between the degree of hearing impairment.
