A binaural implementation of the Hearing Aid Speech Perception Index (HASPI)

Acta Acustica
Introduction: The Hearing Aid Speech Perception Index version 2 (HASPI v2) is an intrusive speech intelligibility metric fitted to the intelligibility of sentence stimuli presented monaurally over headphones.

Spatially selective binaural hearing aids [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers - UbiComp '15, 2015
Traditional hearing aids are limited by the absence of spatial selectivity. Superdirective microphone array can recover such limit, performing a spatial filtering to achieve an augmented SNR. We present Glassense, a platform hosting a double microphone array connected to a processing unit and mounted on the frame of common glasses. The platform has the

Hearing Asymmetry Biases Spatial Hearing in Bimodal Cochlear-Implant Users Despite Bilateral Low-Frequency Hearing Preservation

Trends in Hearing, 2023
Many cochlear implant users with binaural residual (acoustic) hearing benefit from combining electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS) in the implanted ear with acoustic amplification in the other.

Age-Related Changes in Interaural-Level-Difference-Based Across-Frequency Binaural Interference

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Low-frequency interaural time differences and high-frequency interaural level differences (ILDs) are used to localize sounds in the horizontal plane. Older listeners appear to be worse at horizontal-plane sound localization to compared younger listeners,

Advantages of Binaural Amplification to Acceptable Noise Level of Directional Hearing Aid Users [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2014
ObjectivesThe goal of the present study was to examine whether Acceptable Noise Levels (ANLs) would be lower (greater acceptance of noise) in binaural listening than in monaural listening condition and also whether meaningfulness of background speech ...

Benefits of Binaural Integration in Cochlear Implant Patients with Single-Sided Deafness and Residual Hearing in the Implanted Ear

Life, 2021
The purpose of the study is to gauge the benefits of binaural integration effects (redundancy and squelch) due to preserved low-frequency residual hearing in the implanted ear of cochlear implant users with single-sided deafness.

Spectral and binaural loudness summation of equally loud narrowband signals in single-sided-deafness and bilateral cochlear implant users

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Recent studies on loudness perception of binaural broadband signals in hearing impaired listeners found large individual differences, suggesting the use of such signals in hearing aid fitting.

Spectral and binaural loudness summation for hearing-impaired listeners

, 2022
S.179-192Sensorineural hearing loss typically results in a steepened loudness function and a reduced dynamic range from elevated thresholds to uncomfortably loud levels for narrowband and broadband signals.

Benefits of Cartilage Conduction Hearing Aids for Speech Perception in Unilateral Aural Atresia

Audiology Research, 2021
Severe conductive hearing loss due to unilateral aural atresia leads to auditory and developmental disorders, such as difficulty in hearing in challenging situations.
