Although many studies have looked at the effects of different listening conditions on the intelligibility of speech, their analyses have often concentrated on changes to a single value on the psychometric function, namely, the threshold. Far less com... Read More about Variations in the slope of the psychometric functions for speech intelligibility: a systematic survey.

The perception of apparent auditory source width in hearing-impaired adults (2014)
Journal Article
Whitmer, W. M., Seeber, B. U., & Akeroyd, M. A. (2014). The perception of apparent auditory source width in hearing-impaired adults. Nature Energy, 135(6), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4875575

In a previous study [Whitmer, Seeber and Akeroyd, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 132, 369-379 (2012)], it was demonstrated that older hearing-impaired (HI) listeners produced visual sketches of headphone-presented noises that were insensitive to changes in inte...

A factor analysis of the SSQ (Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale) (2013)
Journal Article
Akeroyd, M. A., Guy, F. H., Harrison, D. L., & Suller, S. L. (2014). A factor analysis of the SSQ (Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale). International Journal of Audiology, 53(2), https://doi.org/10.3109/14992027.2013.824115

OBJECTIVE:

The speech, spatial, and qualities of hearing questionnaire (SSQ) is a self-report test of auditory disability. The 49 items ask how well a listener would do in many complex listening situations illustrative of real life. The scores on...
