Listening with two ears instead of one

چکیده
For many years (e.g., Cherry, 1953), hearing care professionals have understood the advantage of listening with two ears compared with one. In addition to improved intelligibility of speech in quiet, noisy, and reverberant environments, binaural versus monaural listening improves perceived sound quality and decreases the effort listeners must expend in order to understand a target voice of interest. Importantly, the recent development of full audio streaming between two hearing aids is poised to realize these benefits for individuals with impaired hearing. This paper will describe in detail why full audio streaming between hearing instruments is beneficial to the hard-of-hearing with a particular emphasis on the importance of binaural processing in challenging listening environments.

متن کاملAn Investigation into the Effect of Authentic Materials on Iranian EFL Learners’ English Listening Comprehension
Listening comprehension means the process of understanding speech in a second or foreign language. It is the perception of information and stimuli received through the ears.

The researchers used a set of authentic materials to improve Iranian ...
متن کاملBinaural performance and aging.
Binaural performance is a general term that can be applied to a wide range of paradigms that involve listening with both ears. This review samples from across the spectrum of binaural tasks by highlighting recent studies that encapsulate certain aspects of binaural function. Studies of the precedence effect and binaural unmasking suggest that temporal coding in elderly listeners is degraded rel...
