An evaluation of the performance of two binaural beamformers in complex and dynamic multitalker environments
(International Journal of Audiology, 2015)
Objective: Binaural beamformers are super-directional hearing aids created by combining microphone outputs from each side of the head.
While they offer substantial improvements in SNR over conventional directional hearing ...
Cognitive Spare Capacity: Evaluation data and its association with comprehension of dynamic conversations
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2015)
It is well established that communication involves the working memory system, which becomes increasingly engaged in understanding speech as the input signal degrades. The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded ...
Effect of audibility on spatial release from speech-on-speech masking
(Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015)
This study investigated to what extent spatial release from masking (SRM) deficits in hearingimpaired
adults may be related to reduced audibility of the test stimuli. Sixteen adults with sensorineural
hearing loss and ...
Development and preliminary evaluation of a new test of ongoing speech comprehension
(2015)
Objective: The overall goal of this work is to create new speech perception tests that more closely resemble real world communication
and offer an alternative or complement to the commonly used sentence recall test. Design: ...
An examination of speech reception thresholds measured in a simulated reverberant cafeteria environment
(2015)
Objective: There is increasing demand in the hearing research community for the creation of laboratory environments that better simulate
challenging real-world listening environments. The hope is that the use of such ...
