What is Speech Audiometry

Chapter 40
Handbook of Research on Natural Computing for Optimization Problems
Speech audiometry is a method that offers a more realistic representation of an individual’s hearing as it involves single-syllable words rather than pure tones. Hearing allows the perception not only of the immediate visible environment but also parts of the environment that are obstructed from view and/or that are a significant distance from the individual. One of the most important and sometimes overlooked aspects of hearing is communication, since most human communication is accomplished through speech and hearing. Hearing does not only convey speech but also conveys more complex messages in the form of music, singing and storytelling. In speech audiometry the patient repeats each word and the score is determined according to the percentage of the words that are correctly identified. In other words, speech audiometry is a method to assess auditory discrimination.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the framework of non-deterministic Brain Computer Interfaces within the context of Human Computer Interaction. A very special subgroup of these interfaces, emerging from the world of hearing loss, comprises the Cochlear Implants that affirmatively expose direct manipulation techniques. Short and long memory experiments with musical exploitation can prove shortcomings in inner-knowledge handling and provide understanding of how the language mechanism provides steady, un-biased speech. A model and a protocol for parameterizing sustainable aural communication skills are presented.
