Abstract :
This paper demonstrates how an instrumental speech-quality measure based on the comparison of auditory-nerve firing-patterns can be constructed. Four available subjective tests prove that the mean opinion scores (MOS) estimated by the objective measure are in good agreement with the subjectively obtained results
