Influence of the speaker and other factors affecting speech intelligibility
J. D. Hood,J P Poole +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the characteristics of any recorded word articulation material are determined predominantly by the speaker and the recording technique adopted and are largely independent of other factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerable limit of loudness: its clinical and physiological significance.
J. D. Hood,J. P. Poole +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large group of subjects with unilateral end-organ deafness, in all of whom the presence of loudness recruitment had been verified by means of the alternate binaural loudness balancing procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speech discrimination in bilateral and unilateral hearing loss due to Ménière's disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with bilateral hearing loss selectively make use of the better ear to the neglect of the poorer ear, which could have important implications in the prescription of binaural hearing aids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speech Audiometry in Conductive and Sensorineural Hearing loss
J. D. Hood,J. P. Poole +1 more
TL;DR: In the ‘cochlear’ group with deafness in excess of 31dB it has been possible to demonstrate a systematic deterioration of speech discrimination with hearing levels, which has practical application in scales of compensation for occupational hearing loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the Reliability of Speech Audiometry
J. D. Hood,J. P. Poole +1 more
TL;DR: By various manipulative procedures appreciable improvements may be obtained in the confidence limits of the material by improving the quality of the word lists re-recorded by a professional announcer.
