要約(英語): To enrich the quality of life of aged human, development of a hearing-aid with which listening is improved comfortably is desired. However, it is peculiarly difficult to fit to sensorineural hearing losses. Therefore, we have studied the development of the appraisal method of voice-hearing power (VHP) by waveform processing. Before now, we proposed the visualizing method for sound waveform to analyze sensibility evaluation with ACE-L (Amplitude Compression/Expansion method - designed with Loudness method) refer to equal-loudness-level contours and non-linear loudness characteristics. In this study, we proposed the method for evaluating VHP of sensorineural hearing losses with ACE-L. To evaluate the effectiveness as hearing-aid fitting, ACE-L was compared with the psychological appraisal. The confusion between /i/ and /u/ was simulated with ACE-L. As the result, ACE-L was effective to objective evaluation of VHP of sensorineural hearing loss was indicated.
