Wide
Dynamic Range Compression
Ideal compression release times for
listening to speech in temporal dips of competing noise may depend on
higher-level cognitive processing (e.g., working memory) and lower-level
peripheral processing (e.g., resolution of temporal fine structure). Furthermore, both relationships
might be influenced by the number of compression channels. Instead of using listeners’
personal hearing aids, a hearing aid simulator is used to amplify speech
via headphones according to their individualized prescriptive targets in
order to have rigorous control and flexibility in the processing. This project may have implications
for customized prescriptions of compression speed and number of channels.
