Title: A Phoneme Analysis on Speech Recognition in Noise : Consonant and Vowel Perception
Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to investigate how young and middle-aged adults recognize speech in noise in terms of phoneme. The results showed that (1) both consonant and vowel perception were greater in young adults than in middle-aged adults, (2) both consonant and vowel perception were greater in subway noise than in vacuum noise and multi-babble noise, (3) vowel perception was better than consonant perception in both young and middle-aged adults (4) consonant perception was more abruptly reduced than vowel perception in young adults and at lower signal-to-noise ratio, and (5) there were positive correlations among consonant perception, vowel perception, and word recognition score. The results of this phoneme analysis give some useful information about speech recognition in addition to the word recognition score.
