| ABSTRACT |
|
The purpose of this study was to examine signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) needed sentence recognition threshold (SeRT) in 10 children
with cochlear implant (CI), compared to 10 normal hearing (NH) children. Eight lists, each containing 10 sentences, of the Korean
Standard Sentence Lists for School-Age (KS-SL-SA) were used under white noise condition to each group (10 NH and 10 CI
children). SNRs were controlled at -6 to +15 dB and -15 to +6 dB by 3-dB step for CI and NH group, respectively. As results, the
SeRTs were presented at +6.64 dB for CI and -9.73 dB for NH group. The slope of sentence recognition score was showed 10.6/dB
and 22.6/dB for CI and NH, respectively as a function of SNRs. Consequently, CI children need better SNR compare to normal
hearing to understand speech in noise. The results might be applied to determine useful SNR for CI user's aural rehabilitation. Further
studies will be continued in terms of speech recognition in SNR, while considering speech materials, hearing threshold level, ages,
and various noise. |
