“…The acceptable noise level (ANL) refers to the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which and could tolerate while listening to speech at the maximum comfortable level (MCL) [1] . the ANL test quantifies an individual's tolerance for background noise during the continuous speech listening [2] . ANL process represents a valid, straightforward as well as easily applicable [1] .ANL is calculated through subtracting the individual's background noise level (BNL) from most comfortable level (MCL).…”
