Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

This chapter reviews binaural models available to predict speech intelligibility for different
kinds of interference and in the presence of reverberation. A particular effort is made to …

This study aims to determine the degree to which Portable Automated Rapid Testing
(PART), a freely available program running on a tablet computer, is capable of reproducing …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the long-term effects of early conductive
hearing loss on binaural processing in school-age children. Design: One hundred and …

Purpose To evaluate the test–retest reliability of a headphone-based spatial release from a
masking task with two maskers (referred to here as the SR2) and to describe its relationship …

In many situations, listeners with sensorineural hearing loss demonstrate reduced spatial
release from masking compared to listeners with normal hearing. This deficit is particularly …

Objectives: Due to interaural frequency mismatch, bilateral cochlear-implant (CI) users may
be less able to take advantage of binaural cues that normal-hearing (NH) listeners use for …

In a multi-talker situation, listeners have the challenge of identifying a target speech source
out of a mixture of interfering background noises. In the current study, it was investigated …

In the present study, speech intelligibility was evaluated in realistic, controlled
conditions.“Critical sound scenarios” were defined as acoustic scenes that hearing aid users …

For a frontal target in spatially symmetrically placed interferers, normal hearing (NH)
listeners can use “better-ear glimpsing” to select time-frequency segments with favorable …
