Acoustically, directional microphone hearing aids are less able to improve signal-to-noise ratio in more-reverberant environments. However, because auditory-visual (AV) omnidirectional performance is more likely to approach the ceiling level in less-reverberant environments, listeners may perceive a smaller directional benefit in these environments. The first objective of this study was to investigate the influence of AV ceiling performance on the relationship between reverberation and directional benefit. The second objective was to determine whether a modified speech intelligibility index (mSII) model could predict directional benefit across AV listening conditions with different levels of reverberation.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 June 2012.
All research outputs
#28,600,579
of 34,360,257 outputs
Outputs from Ear and hearing (Print)
#1,738
of 2,263 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,408
of 225,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ear and hearing (Print)
#9
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,257 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,263 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 225,938 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
