Abstract: This study extends previous work [Roverud et al., Trends Hear, 20, 1-17, 2016] reporting differences between normal-hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired (HI) listeners in their use of low- vs. high-frequency information. In that study, listeners identified… read more here.

Abstract: A deep learning-based speech enhancement method is proposed to aid hearing-impaired listeners by improving speech intelligibility. The algorithm decomposes the noisy speech signal into frames (as features). Subsequently, a deep convolutional neural network is fed… read more here.

Abstract: Many listeners with sensorineural hearing loss have uneven hearing sensitivity across frequencies. This study addressed whether this uneven hearing loss leads to a biasing of attention to different frequency regions. Normal-hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired (HI)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/23312165221099894
Abstract: In recent years, a growing body of literature has explored the effect of hearing impairment on the neural processing of speech, particularly related to the neural tracking of speech envelopes. However, only limited work has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/23312165221143901
Abstract: Speech recognition in rooms requires the temporal integration of reflections which arrive with a certain delay after the direct sound. It is commonly assumed that there is a certain temporal window of about 50–100 ms, during… read more here.
