How do we recognize what one person is saying when others are speaking at the same
time? This review summarizes widespread research in psychoacoustics, auditory scene …

The capacity of the auditory system to extract spatial information relies principally on the
detection and interpretation of binaural cues, ie, differences in the time of arrival or level of …

Solving the “cocktail party problem” depends on segregating, selecting, and comprehending
the message of one specific talker among competing talkers. This chapter reviews the …

Objectives:(1) Measure sentence recognition in co-located and spatially separated target
and masker configurations in school-aged children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) and …

Spatial release from masking (SRM) occurs when a target signal and competing masker
come from different directions. For a stationary noise interferer, it comprises an improvement …

Background: Hearing loss caused by exposure to intense sounds usually has its greatest
effects on audiometric thresholds at 4 and 6 kHz. However, in several countries …

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 …

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 …

The current experiment investigated whether better-ear glimpsing can explain the spatial
release achieved by normal-hearing adults when situations are high in informational …

While experimentation with synthetic stimuli in abstracted listening situations has a long
standing and successful history in hearing research, an increased interest exists on closing …
