Description
A speech intelligibility model is presented, based on the computational auditory signal processing and perception model (CASP; Jepsen et al., 2008). CASP has previously been shown to successfully predict psychoacoustic data of normal hearing (NH) listeners obtained in conditions of, e.g., spectral masking, amplitude-modulation detection, and forward masking (Jepsen et al., 2008). Furthermore, CASP can be tuned to model data from individual hearing-impaired listeners in different behavioral experiments (Jepsen and Dau, 2011). In this study, the CASP model is investigated as a predictor of intelligibility for Danish sentences for NH listeners.The model receives the clean and degraded speech as input. The signals are processed through outer- and middle-ear filtering, a non-linear auditory filterbank (DRNL, López-Poveda and Meddis, 2001), adaptation loops, and a modulation filterbank. The internal representations produced at the end of these stages are analyzed using a correlation-based back end.
Here, predictions of speech intelligibility obtained with the speech-based CASP implementation are presented and compared to speech intelligibility data measured in conditions of additive noise, phase jitter, spectral subtraction, ideal binary mask processing and reverberation.
