| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project was establishment of standard test for assessment of hearing-assistance devices regarding transmission of paralinguistic information. The research project consisted of two subtopics : development of evaluation method for transmission of speakers 'intention ; and establishment of evaluation test for transmission of speaker information. The major results of this project were as follows : Results of speakers' intention is efficient for describe performances of hearing assistance devices ; accuracy of speaker discrimination depended on the performance of the devices. Based on these results, a speaker discrimination test was developed. Evaluation of this test revealed that this test is efficient for assessment of hearing assistance devices.
