Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2018
Aversiveness of loud sounds is a frequent complaint by hearing aid users, especially when fitted bilaterally. This study investigates whether loudness summation can be held responsible for this finding.

Hearing impairment among workers exposed to excessive levels of noise in ginning industries

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2011
Cotton ginning workers have a risk of hearing loss due to excessive noise levels at the workplace environment. In this study, estimates of typical sound levels prevailing at the workplace environment and its effects on hearing ability of the exposed ...

Evaluating the Impact of Age, Acoustic Exposure, and Electrical Stimulation on Binaural Sensitivity in Adult Bilateral Cochlear Implant Patients

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Deafness in both ears is highly disruptive to communication in everyday listening situations. Many individuals with profound deafness receive bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) to gain access to spatial cues used in localization and speech understanding ...

Spatial Release From Masking in Simulated Cochlear Implant Users With and Without Access to Low-Frequency Acoustic Hearing

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2015
For normal-hearing listeners, speech intelligibility improves if speech and noise are spatially separated. While this spatial release from masking has already been quantified in normal-hearing listeners in many studies, it is less clear how spatial ...

A Multimedia Application: Spatial Perceptual Entropy of Multichannel Audio Signals

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2010
Usually multimedia data have to be compressed before transmitting, and higher compression rate, or equivalently lower bitrate, relieves the load of communication channels but impacts negatively the quality.

Experiments in binaural hearing: Masking, speech intelligibility, and binaural hearing aids [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
The late J. Donald Harris had a great interest in binaural hearing and binaural amplification systems for the hearing impaired. This paper is dedicated to his memory. Research on binaural release from masking has been substantial. A similar but smaller research effort has focused on binaural improvements in intelligibility and related issues involving ...

Binaural Hearing with Digisonic SP Binaural Implant

open access: yes, 2009
Introduction: The author presents a new technique for the rehabilitation of profoundly deaf adult patients by cochlear electrical stimulation. Usually, one ear is implanted. Bilateral cochlear implantation experiences have been reported by the literature recently. The Digisonic SP Binaural is a 24 channels[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

ANGULAR LOCALIZATION IN BINAURAL HEARING

open access: yesNippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1964
In recent years, it has become apparent that the directional hearing capacity in binaural hearing correlates with the perceptive hearing disorders.From such a medical significance, the experiment was carried out in order to research the possibility of clinical application of the differential diagnosis of hearing impairment causing central auditory ...

Rate-Constrained Beamforming in Binaural Hearing Aids

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2009
Recently, hearing aid systems where the left and right ear devices collaborate with one another have received much attention. Apart from supporting natural binaural hearing, such systems hold great potential for improving the intelligibility of speech in
