Validation of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire [PDF]
Subjective questionnaires are informative in understanding the difficulties faced by patients with hearing loss. Our intent was to establish and validate a new questionnaire that encompasses situations emphasizing binaural hearing. The Spatial Hearing Questionnaire is a self-report assessment tool with eight subscales representing questions; pertaining

Sequential critical periods for the development of binaural integration in the infant mouse auditory cortex [PDF]
Early binaural experience can recalibrate central auditory circuits that support spatial hearing. However, it is not known how binaural integration matures shortly after hearing onset or whether various developmental stages are differentially impacted by

Spatial Benefit of Bilateral Hearing Aids [PDF]
To assess the extent to which hearing aids improve spatial benefit by restoring the availability of interaural difference cues, the benefit attributable to spatial separation of speech and babble with and without bilateral hearing aids was measured as a function of low-pass cutoff frequency.Twenty-one older adults with sloping high-frequency hearing ...

Neural network model of binaural hearing based on spatial feature extraction of the head related transfer function [PDF]
In spatial hearing, complex valued head-related transfer function (HRTF) can be represented as a real valued head-related impulse response (HRIR). Using Karhunen-Loeve expansion, the spatial features of the normalized HRIRs on measurement space can be ...

The challenges of viewpoint-taking when learning a sign language: Data from the 'frog story' in British Sign Language [PDF]
Little is known about how hearing adults learn sign languages. Our objective in this study was to investigate how learners of British Sign Language (BSL) produce narratives, and we focused in particular on viewpoint-taking.

Familiarity with sound sources is known to have a modulatory effect on auditory distance perception. However, the level of familiarity that can affect distance perception is not clearly understood.

Decision making in auditory externalization perception: model predictions for static conditions
Under natural conditions, listeners perceptually attribute sounds to external objects in their environment. This core function of perceptual inference is often distorted when sounds are produced via hearing devices such as headphones or hearing aids ...

A binaural grouping model for predicting speech intelligibility in multitalker environments [PDF]
Spatially separating speech maskers from target speech often leads to a large intelligibility improvement. Modeling this phenomenon has long been of interest to binaural-hearing researchers for uncovering brain mechanisms and for improving signal ...

An overview of the major phenomena of the localization of sound sources by normal-hearing, hearing-impaired, and aided listeners [PDF]
Localizing a sound source requires the auditory system to determine its direction and its distance. In general, hearing-impaired listeners do less well in experiments measuring localization performance than normal-hearing listeners, and hearing aids ...

Older children and teenagers with bilateral cochlear implants often have poor spatial hearing because they cannot fuse sounds from the two ears. This deficit jeopardizes speech and language development, education, and social well-being.
