| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many previous studies reported that hearing-aid or cochlear implant users have difficulty in perception of speaker-emotion, distinguishing speakers, etc., although they can perceive linguistic messages. This imperfect of hearing-assistance devices in transmission of non-linguistic or paralinguistic messages can be accounted for by lack 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 were developed.
