| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hearing-aid (HA) or cochlear-implant (CI) users have been reporting that they have difficulty in perception of speaker-emotion, distinguishing speakers, etc., although they can perceive linguistic messages. This difficulty is salient if HA or CI users are surrounded by noisy environment or in multi-speaker situation. This imperfect of hearing-assistance devices in transmission of non-linguistic or paralinguistic messages can be accounted for by luck of evaluation scales considering these aspects. In this research project, prototype of evaluation scales for assessment of hearing-assistance devices regarding transmission of speaker-emotion, speaker-preferences, and distinguish of speakers.
