Abstract:A goal in fitting hearing aids is to find settings that improve listener judgments of the amplified speech quality. Objective metrics that predict speech quality could assist in this fitting procedure and, thus, become useful tools in the clinic. The Hearing-Aid Speech Quality Index version 2 (HASQI v2) is effective in predicting speech quality ratings for speech processed through a hearing aid. However, HASQI v2 requires a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of approximately 40 dB to provide reliable measurements of … Show more
