Executive summary The present document provides data and information on studies that have shown that hearing impaired people are suffering

19、of insufficient intelligibility of transmitted speech, due to background noises, transmission impairments, shapes of receivers, tandeming of speech processing and coupling between earphones and hearing aids. It also shows that wideband bandwidth provides improved quality than achieved with narrowban

20、d for hearing impaired people using hearing aids, cochlear implants. The present document is intended as a first step of a potential work plan which needs to be constructed in order to define scenarios to conduct subjective tests on intelligibility, listening effort and quality for hearing impaired

21、people with different hearing profiles, and to define and validate an objective model to predict speech intelligibility, listening effort and quality for hearing impaired people, both by using hearing aids or not. The next phase should consist, at least, to study: how the listening quality for heari

22、ng impaired people can be improved, with or without hearing devices (including loudness, spectrum equalization or enhancement, etc.); how to determine the impact of the different transmission impairments on intelligibility for different types of hearing profiles, such as the potential impact of coup

23、ling between phone receivers and hearing aids (e.g. acoustical, inductive coupling); which kind of model(s) can best assess objectively the intelligibility of natural and synthesized speech; ETSI ETSI TR 103 225 V1.1.1 (2018-01) 5 what kind of model could determine the listening effort needed to fol

24、low and understand a conversation. The impairments from the distant send side may also have impacts on intelligibility of received speech, hence might need performance improvements. Introduction Several studies have shown that hearing impaired people suffer from less sufficient intelligibility of tr

25、ansmitted speech, due to background noises, transmission impairments, types of receivers, low quality coupling between earphones and hearing aids. It was also noted that an important parameter to be assessed is the listening effort. There is also a lack of subjective tests on intelligibility for hea

26、ring impaired people and there is no standardized objective model to predict speech intelligibility as perceived by hearing impaired people. Such tests should be done, at least, in wideband, as very few results are available for this bandwidth and it has been shown that wideband speech provides impr

27、ovements compared to narrowband speech for hearing impaired people. The present document is a first step to improve and assess the intelligibility of transmitted speech for hearing impaired people. It is expected that new documents, specifications or standards could be produced for specific applicat

28、ions, e.g. to associate text to speech in order to improve the intelligibility for the users, and to consider the best way to define relevant standards for these combinations. For further works, at least four topics have been identified. The three first topics could be developed by the ETSI TC STQ a

29、nd the fourth topic by the ETSI TC HF (Human Factors): Receive side for hearing impaired people, with or without hearing aids (including loudness, equalization, etc.), including modeling the listening effort. Impact of the different transmission impairments on intelligibility, quality and listening

30、effort. Impairments from the send side and consequences on intelligibility - improvements are expected. Association of text and speech, and consequences for intelligibility. Acoustical, inductive, wireless and electrical couplings between phones and hearing aids should be taken into account, as well

31、 as the different types of hearing aids (e.g. cochlear implants). ETSI ETSI TR 103 225 V1.1.1 (2018-01) 61 Scope The present document provides a review of existing test methodologies to assess speech intelligibility, quality and listening effort. It should be noted that most test methods (for qualit

32、y or intelligibility) have been developed with normal hearing people and that there is a lack of data for hearing impaired people. Some clauses of the present document provide a review of existing methods or test results that take into account couplings between phones and listeners ears (acoustical

33、coupling), and coupling between phones and hearing aids (inductive, acoustical or via radio links). Different hearing impairments affecting the listening performance are also considered. 2 References 2.1 Normative references Normative references are not applicable in the present document. 2.2 Inform
