Abstract

Introduction: In aural rehabilitation, speech bananas are often used as a counseling tool to visually indicate one's auditory access to speech sounds. We constructed a Chinese-based speech banana to provide Chinese-speaking users with a more appropriate distribution of Chinese speech sounds on an audiogram.

Method: The location of each phoneme was defined by its frequency and intensity. To evaluate the clinical validity of the proposed speech banana, 15 Chinese-speaking hearing aid users were recruited; the predictability of the present speech banana was examined in terms of sensitivity and specificity based on their aided sound-field narrow-band noise thresholds and speech recognition thresholds.

Results: The data revealed high specificity rates of 94.2% below 8,000 Hz and high sensitivity of 96.8% above 8,000 Hz. Specificity measures the percentage of perceptible sounds correctly identified as such by the Chinese speech banana (CSB); sensitivity measures the percentage of imperceptible sounds that are correctly identified as such by the CSB.

Discussion/conclusion: The CSB represents a potentially valid counseling tool to identify phonemes that have poor perceptual quality and indicate auditory access gaps.

汉语音位听力图:构建与评价。

在听力康复中，言语香蕉经常被用作一种咨询工具，以视觉方式表明一个人对语音的听觉访问。我们构建了一个基于中文的语音香蕉，为讲中文的用户提供更合适的中文语音在听力图上的分布。方法:根据音素的频率和强度确定音素的位置。为了评估语音香蕉的临床有效性，我们招募了15名中文助听器使用者;基于辅助声场窄带噪声阈值和语音识别阈值，对当前语音香蕉的可预测性进行了灵敏度和特异性检查。结果:8,000 Hz以下特异性为94.2%，8,000 Hz以上敏感性为96.8%。特异性衡量的是汉语语音香蕉(CSB)正确识别的可感知音的百分比;灵敏度测量的是被CSB正确识别的难以察觉的声音的百分比。讨论/结论:CSB代表了一种潜在的有效的咨询工具，可以识别具有较差感知质量的音素，并指出听觉访问差距。

期刊介绍： Published since 1947, ''Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica'' provides a forum for international research on the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of structures of the speech, language, and hearing mechanisms. Original papers published in this journal report new findings on basic function, assessment, management, and test development in communication sciences and disorders, as well as experiments designed to test specific theories of speech, language, and hearing function. Review papers of high quality are also welcomed.
