measurements are reported, in which an acoustic beam-forming microphone array is …

The benefit of a visually guided beamformer in a dynamic speech task

V Best, E Roverud, T Streeter, CR Mason… - Trends in …, 2017 - journals.sagepub.com
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a visually guided hearing aid (VGHA)
under conditions designed to capture some aspects of “real-world” communication …

A flexible question-and-answer task for measuring speech understanding

V Best, T Streeter, E Roverud, CR Mason… - Trends in …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
This report introduces a new speech task based on simple questions and answers. The task
