Speech Intelligibility in a Background Noise and Noise-induced Hearing Loss

Pages 546-554 | Published online: 25 Apr 2007
 

Abstract

A significant improvement in speech intelligibility in a background noise was shown in a group of industrial subjects conditioned to working in noise compared with a control group of university staff. Progressive deterioration of speech intelligibility in noise was found with noise-induced hearing loss after losses had occurred at the 2 kHz pure-tone audiometric frequency.
