(How) do transparent hearing aids impair speech intelligibility in normal hearing subjects?
Florian Denk1, Florian Miethling1, Jürgen Tchorz2, Hendrik Husstedt11Deutsches Hörgeräte Institut GmbH, Lübeck, Germany2Technische Hochschule Lübeck, Germany While hearing aids provide large benefits for hearing impaired users, it has been repeatedly shown that wearing hearing aids has also detrimental effects on sound localization, spatial hearing and speech perception. Such ‘side effects’ reduce the benefit of hearing …

Technical evaluation of impulse noise reduction in hearing aids
Hendrik Husstedt1, Wiebke Hilgerdenaar1,2, Marlitt Frenz1, Florian Denk 1, Jürgen Tchorz3, Simone Wollermann11German Institute of Hearing Aids, Lübeck, Germany2Universität zu Lübeck, Lübeck, Germany3Technische Hochschule Lübeck, Lübeck, Germany Hearing aid users often report that short, impulse-like noise signals with high sound pressure levels such as slamming of a door or rattle of dishes are particularly annoying. …
Objective evaluation of dynamic range compression in adverse acoustic conditions using a data-driven distance metric
Niels Overby1, Torsten Dau1, Tobias May11Hearing Systems Section, Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark Dynamic range compression aims to restore audibility for hearing-impaired listeners and is one of the most essential building blocks in modern hearing aids. However, the choice of suitable compression parameters, such as the time constants associated …
