Abstract
Prominent complaints of hearing-impaired listeners relate to the difficulties they experience in complex acoustic environments, particularly environments with multiple sources and reverberation. Available data and some theoretical ideas about the nature of the difficulties with speech intelligibility in these environments will be reviewed with impaired listeners in mind. The effects of the spatial characteristics of the sound sources and the room on the binaural signals and their processing is the primary focus of this presentation. Listeners with normal hearing as well as listeners with hearing impairments, with and without hearing aids, will be considered. Theoretical topics to be discussed include the effects of reverberation on interaural differences and on temporal modulation patterns, including the consequences for performance as predicted by standard models of binaural processing.
