What this trial measures

  • Individual and mean within-subject difference on HINT SNR-50 between ASM Fixed Directionality and Omnidirectional conditions.0 days

    Speech perception ability will be measured using the Hearing in noise Test (HINT) sentences in an adaptive procedure. HINT sentences will be presented from the front with continuous, steady-state noise presented at 65 dBA from behind. The presentation level of the speech signal will be adjusted based on participant response. The difference in dB SNR between the ASM Fixed Directionality and Omnidirectional conditions will be summarized. Results for each condition will be reported in dB SNR defined as the SNR level at which 50% score is achieved.
