17.6 Using Speechmap
FastFacts 17.6: Using Speechmap
The Speechmap fitting environment provides a number of distinctly different
stimuli. Speech and noise are analyzed in 1/3 octave bands and (except for pink
noise) data are presented as 3 curves. The top curve is the level exceeded 1% of
the time (speech peaks), the lower curve is the level exceeded 70% of the time
(speech valleys) and the middle curve is the average. Starting a test causes the
signal to be presented continuously - the speech signals run in a loop - and the
curves are updated frequently to show any changes you make to the hearing
instrument. Pressing <Continue> restarts the speech passage and the curves are
then calculated for the entire passage, producing an accurate display of the
speech region and LTASS, and an accurate SII calculation. When using live
speech, a <Freeze curve> button captures short-term speech features. See
