Although prosthetic devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants may improve the hearing capability, listeners with hearing impairments still complain about their speech perception in the presence of noise. The basic tonal audiometry only gives a cursory idea of the degree of difficulty in spoken communication caused by hearing loss because it does not assess the ability to understand speech. Therefore, the use of speech-in-noise tests to measure hearing loss in complex scenes is an integral part of a patient's audiological study. Most research has concentrated on studying only stationary sound sources, but in natural acoustic scenes, conversations may become very difficult to understand in the presence of moving sound sources such as a moving talker or a passing vehicle. Therefore, this thesis deals with quantifying speech perception in the presence of moving maskers through virtual sound sources presented binaurally via headphones. Significant differences in several conditions were found, revealing that the auditory system assesses differently the moving maskers than the stationary maskers. Therefore, the inclusion of moving conditions in clinical listening tests is recommended, in order to assess speech-in-noise perception in a more realistic environment. 606 $aEngineering$xAcoustics 610 $aspeech-in-noise perception 610 $abinaural technology 610 $aroom acoustics 610 $amoving sound sources 610 $ahead movements 615 0$aEngineering$xAcoustics. 676 $a401.95 700 $aViveros Mun?oz$b Rhoddy A. $0871344 712 02$aRheinisch-Westfa?lische Technische Hochschule Aachen, 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418317303321 996 $aSpeech perception in complex acoustic environments$91945263 997 $aUNINA
