A context-based approach to predict intelligibility of meaningful and nonsense words in interrupted noise: Model evaluation.

The context-based Extended Speech Transmission Index (cESTI) by Van Schoonhoven et al. (2022) was successfully used to predict the intelligibility of meaningful, monosyllabic words in interrupted noise. However, it is not clear how the model behaves when using different degrees of context.

The Extended Speech Transmission Index: Predicting speech intelligibility in fluctuating noise and reverberant rooms.

The Speech Transmission Index (STI) is used to predict speech intelligibility in noise and reverberant environments. However, measurements and predictions in fluctuating noises lead to inaccuracies. In the current paper, the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) is presented in order to deal with these shortcomings.

Towards measuring the Speech Transmission Index in fluctuating noise: Accuracy and limitations.

In the field of room acoustics, the modulation transfer function (MTF) can be used to predict speech intelligibility in stationary noise and reverberation and can be expressed in one single value: the Speech Transmission Index (STI). One drawback of the classical STI measurement method is that it is not validated for fluctuating background noise. As opposed to the classical measurement method, the MTF due to reverberation can also be calculated using an impulse response measurement.

Selecting Appropriate Tests to Assess the Benefits of Bilateral Amplification With Hearing Aids.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bilateral hearing aids (HA) in subjects with mild and moderate-to-severe hearing loss. This study was designed as a within-subject feasibility study. Bilateral HA use was assessed using different laboratory tests on speech reception, listening effort, noise tolerance, and localization.

The effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implants for severe-to-profound deafness in adults: a systematic review.

Objective: Assessment of the clinical effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implantation compared with unilateral cochlear implantation or bimodal stimulation, in adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss. In 2007, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the U.K.

The effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implants for severe-to-profound deafness in children: a systematic review.

Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implantation compared with unilateral cochlear implantation alone or with a contralateral hearing aid (bimodal stimulation), in children with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Recently, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the U.K.
