Introduction: Remote microphone (RM) systems are designed to enhance speech recognition in noisy environments by improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for individuals with typical hearing (TH) and hearing impairment (HI). The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the advantages of speech recognition in noise for individuals with TH in a simulated group setting using two different remote microphones.
Methods: A quasi-experimental, repeated-measures design was employed, involving ten participants with TH, ages 20 to 63 years.
Objective: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of contralateral broadband noise on acoustic reflex latency (ARL).
Materials And Methods: Acoustic reflex latency changes for 10 and 90% on- and off-time acoustic reflexes with contralateral broadband noise were measured in 30 adults with normal hearing.
Results: The results of the study demonstrate that there was a latency prolongation for reflex on-time (10 and 90%) and latency reduction for reflex off-time (10 and 90%).
