Subject: SII tailored for gender of speaker? From: "Richard H." <auditory@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 17:05:40 +0100This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_002E_01C66ED3.CE41EE60 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I use a freeware SII program to check the intelligibility of speech for = hard of hearing, using their audiograms. However I assume that the SII algorithm is based on a "typical" = population ... not just male or female input voices.. Does anyone have a SII program - or data - to cover male voices & female = voices separately? I can then assess how any speciifc hearing loss will react to male = voices and female voices separately.
