| Research Abstract |
Not only speech intelligibility but also speech privacy should be considered in acoustic design in medical facilities. Acoustic measurements indicated that an example of the room with intelligibility problem in a hospital can be easily improved by practical absorption treatment. Meanwhile, a method for predicting word intelligibility, which indicates the degree of information leakages, from physical parameters of rooms was suggested on the basis of listening tests. Furthermore, the relationship between word intelligibility and%-dissatisfaction for consulting rooms was clarified quantitatively
