Effect of signal to noise ratio on the speech perception ability of older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation.
