RecruitingDevice studyEvaluating a Deep Neural Noise-Reduction Algorithm for Hearing AidsThis study is designed to understand how different hearing-aid noise-reduction technologies affect a listener's ability to hear speech in noisy environments. Participants will listen to speech at several background-noise levels while trying different processing settings. By comparing performance across these conditions, the study aims to identify which types of noise reduction improve speech intelligibility the most. We expect that some noise-reduction strategies will help listeners understand speech better than others, especially in more difficult listening situations.
