Speech reception in noise
Dear all,
Everybody knows that speech perception in noisy
backgrounds is poorer for listeners with cochlear
hearing loss than for normal-hearing listeneres.
But is there any evidence that the rate of
decrease of performance with decreasing
speech-to-noise ratio is greatest for
hearing-impaired than for normal-hearing
listeners? I would appreciate any reference to relevant studies.
