A Preliminary Study on the Construction of a Speech Corpus and Voice Information Database for Hearing-Impaired Speakers
Speech data from hearing-impaired speakers constitute a fundamental resource for research on hearing-impaired speech feature analysis and AI-driven voice restoration technologies. China has a large population of hearing-impaired individuals
among whom many use spoken language as their primary means of communication. However
dedicated speech data for Mandarin-speaking hearing-impaired individuals have long been lacking in quantity
standardized norms
and sharing mechanisms
which has become a critical bottleneck hindering the deployment of AI-based rehabilitation technologies. In response to the current lack of systematic standards for hearing-impaired speech data construction
this paper reviews relevant theories and practices from both domestic and international sources
and analyzes the localization challenges faced in China. On this basis
this paper proposes leveraging artificial intelligence technologies to promote the systematic
standardized
and intelligent construction of hearing-impaired speech databases through the establishment of industry standards
the development of human-AI collaborative workflows
the creation of tiered open data sharing mechanisms
and the acceleration of interdisciplinary talent cultivation. This study aims to provide methodological references for the systematic construction of speech data resources for hearing-impaired individuals in China.
