“…More and more listeners with hearing loss are treated with bilateral prothesis to improve perceptual benefits of having both ears. The standard of care for listeners with mild-to-moderate hearing loss is to provide bilateral hearing aids, whereas those with profound hearing loss are candidates for cochlear implants (Ricketts and Kan, 2021). The present task can provide critical information to the clinician when testing various device programs, with the benefit of increased time-efficiency compared to classic procedures.…”

The spatial-release-from-masking (SRM) task is used to assess binaural function, but has limitations for interpreting individual spatial abilities, and it can be an inefficient test. Here, we introduce a modified SRM task that directly measures the spatial-separation angle needed between a male target (speech with digits) and two female maskers (speech) to achieve a specific SRM. On average, younger normal-hearing listeners (n = 10) needed 6° separation between target and maskers for 6-dB SRM and 16° separation for 9-dB SRM. Using this new and more efficient test, we can directly measure the angle needed for a desired masking release.
