Localizing a sound source requires the auditory system to determine its direction and its
distance. In general, hearing-impaired listeners do less well in experiments measuring …

Purpose: This review article reviews the contemporary studies of localization ability for
different populations in different listening environments and provides possible future …

Although beamforming algorithms for hearing aids can enhance performance, the wearer's
head may not always face the target talker, potentially limiting real-world benefits. This study …

When listening to a sound source in everyday situations, typical movement behavior is
highly individual and may not result in the listener directly facing the sound source …

Head position at any point in time plays a fundamental role in shaping the auditory
information that reaches a listener, information that continuously changes as the head …

Objectives: The ability to localize sound sources is crucial for everyday listening, as it
contributes to spatial awareness and the detection of warning signs. Individuals with hearing …

To optimally improve signal-to-noise ratio in noisy environments, a hearing assistance
device must correctly identify what is signal and what is noise. Many of the biosignal-based …

In real-world listening situations, individuals typically utilize head and eye movements to
receive and enhance sensory information while exploring acoustic scenes. However, the …

Head movements can improve sound localization performance and speech intelligibility in
acoustic environments with spatially distributed sources. However, they can affect the …

Background: There are two cues that listeners use to disambiguate the front/back location of
a sound source: high-frequency spectral cues associated with the head and pinnae, and self …
