Suppression data from impaired auditory nerves could improve hearing aid speech-in-noise amplification

Evidence

These data will help guide novel amplification strategies, particularly for complex listening situations (e.g., speech in noise), in which current hearing aids struggle to restore intelligibility. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3812
