Abstract

In this chapter, experiments using the Japanese DRT intelligibility test defined in the previous chapter on speech degraded with common additive noise is defined. The purpose of these experiments were to find out the effect of these additive noise on the “intelligibility” as measured by the defined testing method, and compare the results with English DRT results.
