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 …

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

The influence of spatial separation in source distance on speech reception thresholds
(SRTs) is investigated. In one scenario, the target was presented at 0.5 m distance, and the …

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 …

The spatial release of masking (SRM) is often measured in virtual auditory environments
created from head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) of a standardized adult head. Adults …

Recently, an increased interest has been demonstrated in evaluating hearing aids (HAs)
inside controlled, but at the same time, realistic sound environments. A promising candidate …

Objective: Spatial release from masking (SRM) can increase speech intelligibility in complex
listening environments. The goal of the present study was to document how speech-in …
