Self-motion with Hearing Impairment and (Directional) Hearing Aids.

ABSTRACT: When listening to a sound source in everyday situations, typical movement behavior is highly individual and may not result in the listener directly facing the sound source. Behavioral differences can affect the performance of directional algorithms in hearing aids, as was shown in previous work by using head movement trajectories of normal-hearing (NH) listeners in acoustic simulations for noise-suppression performance predictions. However, the movement behavior of hearing-impaired (HI) listeners with or without hearing aids may differ, and hearing-aid users might adapt their self-motion to improve the performance of directional algorithms. This work investigates the influence of hearing impairment on self-motion, and the interaction of hearing aids with self-motion. In order to do this, t
