Abstract
Over a wide range of conditions, intelligibility is independent of the level of peak-clipping if the post-clipping speech power is held constant. Peak-clipping thus achieves protection of the ear against painfully loud speech without demanding a penalty in intelligibility. Indeed, under restricted ranges of conditions, peak-clipping may actually improve intelligibility with constant speech power.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
