Sensory learning concerning acoustic speech signals already starts during pregnancy.

Once again, this shows extraction of meaningful information from the speech signal above and beyond physical characteristics alone.

There were many early developments based on segmenting different speech signals through frequency.

Children with varying degrees of hearing loss display different speech signals and babbling.

This is useful during short pauses between words or sentences in a speech signal.

Much of the meaning is implicit and therefore absent from the speech signal.

It can be used to modify the pitch and duration of a speech signal.

The processor attempts to provide maximum amplification in the direction of the speech signal.

This makes it difficult for the processor to select the desired speech signal.

Listeners make sense of the speech signal by making reference to them.
