Enhanced speech intelligibility in realistic acoustic scenarios guarantees effective
communication. Noise and reverberation degrade speech intelligibility, but the combined …

It remains unclear whether musical training is associated with improved speech
understanding in a noisy environment, with different studies reaching differing conclusions …

Sound localization testing is key for comprehensive hearing evaluations, particularly in
cases of suspected auditory processing disorders. However, sound localization is not …

It is well-known that we benefit from binaural hearing when listening to the speech of interest
amongst noise, where spatial cues may release our auditory perception from masking …

The use of virtual acoustic environments has become a key element in psychoacoustic and
audiologic research, as loudspeaker-based reproduction offers many advantages over …

Objectives: First, to evaluate the effect of laboratory-based test realism on speech
intelligibility outcomes of cochlear implant users. Second, to conduct an exploratory …

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

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 …

This study presents an auditory virtual reality system which relies on pre-computed B-format
impulse responses in a grid across the domain. Spatial information is encoded in the …

We present a novel virtual acoustics simulation and spatial audio rendering framework,
which is based on utilizing a wave-based acoustic simulation paradigm. The simulation …
