Historically, headphones have mainly been used for analytic listening in music production
and in homes. During the last decade, with the boom of dedicated music players and mobile …

The perception of one's own voice influences the acceptance of hearing devices, such as
headphones, headsets or hearing aids. When these devices fully or partially occlude the ear …

In hearing devices, hear-through features that aim to provide the user with acoustic
awareness of their surroundings are becoming increasingly popular. In particular …

Acoustically transparent hearing devices should allow hearing equivalent to the open ear
while providing the possibility to modify the sound reaching the eardrum in a desired …

Sound quality in hearing devices could be improved by providing acoustic transparency, ie,
electronically creating a listening impression alike to the open ear. This can be achieved by …

To improve the sound quality of hearing devices, equalization filters can be used to achieve
acoustic transparency, ie, listening with the device in the ear is perceptually similar to the …

The hear-through (HT) technique was developed actively to compensate for passive
isolation by enhancing the perception of ambient sound by wearers of headphones. The …

Headphones are commonly used in noisy environments. Insert headphones attenuate and
color the spectra of ambient sounds and thus alter the auditory perception. When the …

In this paper we evaluate the performance of a real-time hearing device prototype that aims
at achieving acoustically transparent sound presentation. Acoustic transparency refers to the …

The hear-through functionality on hearing devices, which allows hearing equivalent to the
open-ear while providing the possibility to modify the sound pressure at the eardrum in a …
