DOI: 10.1007/s00405-017-4465-3
Abstract: between the results of any of these four studies, but there is a difference in the experimental setting, and thus ultimately, in the research question, which is being answered by the experiments. The spatial arrangement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2023.2176553
Abstract: PURPOSE Although a well-established aspect of healthcare practice, the impact of facemasks on verbal communication is surprisingly ambiguous. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was conducted in APA PSYCHinfo, CINAHL, NHS Knowledge Network, Medline and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/23312165221134378
Abstract: Unhindered auditory and visual signals are essential for a sufficient speech understanding of cochlear implant (CI) users. Face masks are an important hygiene measurement against the COVID-19 virus but disrupt these signals. This study determinates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274435
Abstract: Spatial cues can facilitate segregation of target speech from maskers. However, in clinical practice, masked speech understanding is most often evaluated using co-located speech and maskers (i.e., without spatial cues). Many hearing aid centers in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12060695
Abstract: (1) Background: Difficulty hearing in noise is exacerbated in older adults. Older adults are more likely to have audiometric hearing loss, although some individuals with normal pure-tone audiograms also have difficulty perceiving speech in noise.… read more here.
