Effects of room reverberation upon hearing aid quality judgments
Abstract:
Hearing-aid-processed speech recorded in reverberant and nonreverberant environments was ranked utilizing quality judgment and speech discrimination tasks. 21 normally hearing and 20 hearing-impaired listeners ranked the hearing-aid-processed speech. Quality judgments in reverberant environments may yield important information with respect to hearing aid selection. In contrast, speech discrimination rankings in a nonreverberant environment appeared to be similar to the speech discrimination rankings obtained in the reverberant condition.
