Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Speech intelligibility in noise will be evaluated in adults with moderate to moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss using a Roger microphone and hearing aid with Roger receiver. Target speech will be presented from multiple directions while competing diffuse background noise is presented simultaneously. Participants will repeat back words and percent correct is calculated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Lateralization hearing ability [Day 1 of 1 day study]

    Participants indicate which direction (left, center, or right) target speech sentences are coming from while competing noise is also presented via four corner speakers. A higher number of correct responses indicates better lateralization ability.

  2. Spatial hearing ability [Day 1 of 1 day study]

    Participants repeat sentences presented from the left speaker, while ignoring overlapping competing sentences presented from the right speaker. A higher number of correctly repeated words indicates a better spatial hearing.
