Objective: A review of the development, evaluation, and application of the so-called 'matrix
sentence test'for speech intelligibility testing in a multilingual society is provided. The format …

This chapter reviews binaural models available to predict speech intelligibility for different
kinds of interference and in the presence of reverberation. A particular effort is made to …

Enhanced speech intelligibility in realistic acoustic scenarios guarantees effective
communication. Noise and reverberation degrade speech intelligibility, but the combined …

Objective speech intelligibility measures are gaining popularity in the development of
speech enhancement algorithms and speech processing devices such as hearing aids …

Providing students with an adequate acoustic environment is crucial for ensuring speech
intelligibility in primary school classrooms. Two main approaches to control acoustics in …

Sound radiation of most natural sources, like human speakers or musical instruments,
typically exhibits a spatial directivity pattern. This directivity contributes to the perception of …

Sound reflections and late reverberation alter energetic and binaural cues of a target source,
thereby affecting its detection in noise. Two experiments investigated detection of harmonic …

In contrast to the well-known benefits for speech intelligibility, the advantage afforded by
binaural stimulus presentation for reducing listening effort has not been thoroughly …

Room acoustic indicators of intelligibility have focused on the effects of temporal smearing of
speech by reverberation and masking by diffuse ambient noise. In the presence of a discrete …

The generalized power spectrum model [GPSM; Biberger and Ewert (2016). J. Acoust. Soc.
Am. 140, 1023–1038], combining the “classical” concept of the power-spectrum model …
