Previous work suggested that individuals with low working memory capacity may be at a disadvantage in adverse listening environments, including situations with background noise or substantial modification of the acoustic signal. This study explored t

Temporal envelope (TE) cues provide a great deal of speech information. This paper explores how spectral subtraction and dynamic-range compression gain modifications affect TE fluctuations for parallel and series configurations. In parallel processin

The Hearing-Aid Speech Perception Index version 2 (HASPI v2) is a speech intelligibility metric derived by fitting subject responses scored as the proportion of complete sentences correct. This paper presents an extension of HASPI v2, denoted by HASP

This book provides an overview of the signal-processing strategies implemented in modern digital hearing aids. Algorithms ranging from dynamic-range compression and directional microphones to sound classification and binaural noise suppression are cl

This paper presents a revised version of the Hearing-Aid Speech Perception Index (HASPI). The index is based on a model of the auditory periphery that incorporates changes due to hearing loss and is valid for both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired

Purpose The overall goal of the current study was to determine whether noise type plays a role in perceptual quality ratings. We compared quality ratings using various noise types and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranges using hearing aid simulations t

Room acoustics models are often used in auditory research. The simplest implementations of these models ignore air absorption, and this lack can affect the room response, especially at high frequencies and for large simulated spaces. This letter prop

Alterations of the speech signal, including additive noise and nonlinear distortion, can reduce speech intelligibility and quality. Hearing aids present an especially complicated situation since these devices may implement nonlinear processing design

A remote microphone (RM) links a talker's microphone to a listener's hearing aids (HAs). The RM improves intelligibility in noise and reverberation, but the binaural cues necessary for externalization are lost. Augmenting the RM signal with synthesiz

A goal in fitting hearing aids is to find settings that improve listener judgments of the amplified speech quality. Objective metrics that predict speech quality could assist in this fitting procedure and, thus, become useful tools in the clinic. The
