Effects of low-pass filtering on intelligibility of periodically interrupted speech

Abstract

The combined effect of low-pass filtering (cut-off frequencies between 500 and 3000 Hz) and periodic interruptions (1.5 and 10 Hz) on speech intelligibility was investigated. When combined, intelligibility was lower than each manipulation alone, even in some conditions where there was no effect from a single manipulation (such as the fast interruption rate of 10 Hz). By using young normal-hearing listeners, potential suprathreshold deficits and aging effects that may occur due to hearing impairment were eliminated. Thus, the results imply that reduced audibility of high-frequency speech components may partially explain the reduced intelligibility of interrupted speech in hearing impaired persons.
