There are enormous differences in hearing performance across individual listeners. To choose the right compensation strategy, one needs to understand what the sources of this variability are.
Goal: The project characterizes individual hearing loss based on estimates of sensitivity, amplitude compression, spectral and temporal resolution, cognitive capabilities, and their relation to speech intelligibility performance. A computational auditory model is used to predict the consequences of individual deficits and to account for the variability in the data across listeners.
Relevance: Identifying processing deficits of individual listeners and linking these to speech recognition results, will have major implications for computational auditory modelling and advanced compensation strategies in hearing instrument technology.
