Comparison of Speech Intelligibility by EAS, Bimodal, Uni- and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Patients in a ÂMulti-Source Noise Field (MSNF)

چکیده
Speech perception in noise is one of the most difficult tasks for people suffering from hearing impairment. The Oldenburg Sentence Test (OLSA) is a useful tool to investigate speech intelligibility threshold in a noise environment. In the present study, a multi-source noise field (MSNF), introduced by Rader et al. (DAGA2008), consisting of a four-loudspeaker array with independent noise sources was combined with the OLSA. The MSNF enables the presentation of a more realistic noise environment and allows to measure a higher effect of binaural interaction regarding the separation of signal and noise from different directions.
