Auditory environment diversity quantified using entropy from real-world hearing aid data

Erik Jorgensen et al.

Summary: This study introduces entropy to quantify the diversity of auditory environments encountered by hearing aid users. The results show that younger users have a higher diversity of auditory environments compared to older users. The alignment of entropy differences with previous findings and ecological momentary response entropy suggests that entropy is a valid and useful metric.

Entropy as a Measure of Auditory Environment Diversity: An Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) Approach

Yu-Hsiang Wu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the validity and usefulness of entropy computed using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data as a measure of auditory environment diversity. The results showed that COVID-19 significantly reduced auditory environment diversity, supporting the construct validity of entropy. Additionally, higher entropy values were associated with poorer outcomes and greater perceived benefit from hearing aid features, suggesting the feasibility of using entropy to predict communication performance and feature benefit. In conclusion, entropy derived from EMA data is a valid and useful measure of auditory environment diversity for understanding the communication needs of people with hearing loss.

Auditory Environments and Hearing Aid Feature Activation Among Younger and Older Listeners in an Urban and Rural Area

Erik Jorgensen et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in auditory environments and hearing aid feature activation between younger listeners with normal hearing and older listeners with hearing loss in an urban and rural location. It was found that younger urban dwellers and listeners with normal hearing encounter more diverse and demanding auditory environments, and their hearing aid features are activated more frequently compared to older rural dwellers and listeners with hearing loss.

Listening-Based Communication Ability in Adults With Hearing Loss: A Scoping Review of Existing Measures

Katie Neal et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the measures used to evaluate listening skills required for oral communication in adults with hearing loss. The results showed that the current measures primarily focus on word or sentence identification, with limited use of discourse-based measures. Furthermore, there is a lack of consensus and consideration of different domains in the existing measures. Therefore, the current measures may have limited clinical application in assessing the listening-related communication skills required by adults with hearing loss in daily life.

Adding noise is a confounded nuisance

Alexander L. Francis

Summary: This article reviews two theoretical perspectives and discusses the consequences of adding noise to a speech signal. It argues that adding noise not only affects the difficulty of the listening task, but also all systems involved in understanding speech.

GPS predicts stability of listening environment characteristics in one location over time among older hearing aid users

Erik J. Jorgensen et al.

Summary: The study found that hearing environment characteristics changed less over time in a given location, and the effectiveness of GPS-dependent hearing aid settings depends on the accuracy and location definition of the GPS feature.

A method for realistic, conversational signal-to-noise ratio estimation

Naim Mansour et al.

Summary: The study introduces a method for accurately estimating in situ SNR in real-world conversational scenarios, showing that the proposed method provides more accurate estimates of broadband speech level and SNR distributions compared to typical single-channel methods, especially in challenging low-SNR environments. This two-channel method may lead to more realistic estimates of conversational SNRs and offer valuable input for hearing device processing strategies based on accurate SNR estimates.

Effect of Test Realism on Speech-in-noise Outcomes in Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users

Javier Badajoz-Davila et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of laboratory-based test realism on speech intelligibility outcomes of cochlear implant users, with results indicating lower speech intelligibility in the most realistic test conditions. Additionally, the study found distinct SNR-dependent performance shifts in speech intelligibility under the influence of realistic noise and speech materials.

Glimpsing keywords across sentences in noise: A microstructural analysis of acoustic, lexical, and listener factors

Daniel Fogerty et al.

Summary: This study explored how acoustic and lexical factors, as well as listener factors, such as auditory thresholds and cognitive-linguistic processing abilities, contribute to sentence recognition in different noise conditions. Both younger and older adults were tested, with vocabulary knowledge playing a more significant role in sentence recognition for younger adults. The study highlights the complex interplay of acoustic, lexical, and listener factors in determining how individuals recognize keywords within sentences.

Real-World Hearing Aid Usage Patterns and Smartphone Connectivity

Jeppe Hoy Christensen et al.

Summary: Remote logging with hearing aids provides new insights into the association between hearing aid usage patterns and environmental factors. Using K-means clustering, hourly hearing aid usage patterns across participants are separated into four clusters that account for almost 50% of the day-to-day variation. Linear mixed-effects regression modeling shows significant associations between daily signal-to-noise, sound intensity, and sound diversity with hearing aid usage.

Band importance for speech-in-speech recognition

Emily Buss et al.

Summary: This study estimates band importance by quantifying the relationship between speech recognition accuracy for full-spectrum speech and the target-to-masker ratio by channel at the output of an auditory filterbank, instead of using filtered stimuli. Preliminary results suggest that frequencies below 2kHz may play a larger role in speech recognition in two-talker speech compared to speech-shaped noise.

Binaural advantages in a real-world environment on speech intelligibility, response time, and subjective listening difficulty

Calli M. Yancey et al.

Summary: This study found that binaural listening provides better speech intelligibility, faster response time, and reduced subjective difficulty compared to monaural listening when conversing in a noisy restaurant. The binaural advantage obtained in laboratory testing compares favorably with real-world performance.
