There is a long-standing tradition to assess hearing-aid benefits using lab-based speech
intelligibility tests. Towards a more everyday-like scenario, the current study investigated the …

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 …

How do people have conversations in noise and make themselves understood? While many
previous studies have investigated speaking and listening in isolation, this study focuses on …

Spatial release from masking is traditionally measured with speech in front. The effect of
head-orientation with respect to the speech direction has rarely been studied. Speech …

Estimating the basic acoustic parameters of conversational speech in noisy real-world
conditions has been an elusive task in hearing research. Nevertheless, these data are …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess three-dimensional (3D) spatial hearing
abilities in reaching space of children and adolescents fitted with bilateral cochlear implants …

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 …

Moving the head while a sound is playing improves its localization in human listeners, in
children and adults, with or without hearing problems. It remains to be ascertained if this …

During conversations people coordinate simultaneous channels of verbal and nonverbal
information to hear and be heard. But the presence of background noise levels such as …

Recent studies of hearing aid benefits indicate that head movement behavior influences
performance. To systematically assess these effects, movement behavior must be measured …
