Abstract | Many measures [e.g., speech transmission index (STI) and speech intelligibility index (SII)] have been proposed to predict the speech intelligibility in noise. Nevertheless, most of these studies were performed under the conditions with a limited number of maskers. The present study further investigated how well the present speech intelligibility and quality metrics predicted the speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for sentences corrupted by stationary and fluctuating maskers. The SRT scores were collected from 30 normal-hearing (NH) and 15 hearing-impaired (HI) native-Cantonese listeners. Sentences were corrupted by nine types of maskers, including speech-shaped noise and eight real-life environmental noises (4- and 6-talker babbles, upper and lower deck in bus, cafe, Chinese restaurant, MTR carriage, and street). The resulting average SRT scores were subject to the correlation analysis with various metrics computed from the noise-masked sentences. Of all the objective metrics considered, the STI and CSII measures performed the best, and their high correlations (i.e., r = 0.91 to 0.96) were maintained in both NH and HI conditions. This suggests that some of the physical metrics that have been found previously to correlate highly with the intelligibility of sentences in noise may also be used to predict the SRTs affected by different maskers. © 2013 Acoustical Society of America |
