Abstract To address Industry 4.0, service-oriented manufacturing unifies the development
track of product development and service innovation and constructs a high-quality …

The principles of the most recent cochlear implant processors are similar to that of the
channel vocoder, originally used for transmitting speech over telephone lines with much less …

The first steps toward bilingual language acquisition have already begun at birth. When
tested on their preference for English versus Tagalog, newborns whose mothers spoke only …

Two groups of listeners, one of native speakers of a tone language (Mandarin Chinese) and
one of native speakers of a non-tone language (English) were trained to recognize …

Speech sound patterns can be discerned using multiple acoustic cues. The relative
weighting of these cues is known to be language-specific. Speech-sound training in adults …

Objective: To develop two versions of the Mandarin Hearing In Noise Test (MHINT). These
tests are adaptive tests that measure the reception threshold for sentences (RTSs) in quiet …

Purpose This study investigated how listeners' native language affects their weighting of
acoustic cues (such as vowel quality, pitch, duration, and intensity) in the perception of …

The experiment presented in this paper shows that Northern and Southern Vietnamese
tones in isolation are identified by listeners through a small set of acoustic properties. Each …

Fundamental frequency (F0) processing by cochlear implant (CI) listeners was measured
using a psychophysical task and a speech intonation recognition task. Listeners' Weber …

Native speakers of Mandarin Chinese have difficulty producing native-like English stress
contrasts. Acoustically, English lexical stress is multidimensional, involving manipulation of …
