abstract：:The Hearing-in-Noise Test (HINT) is able to measure the benefit to speech intelligibility in noise conferred when the noise masker is displaced 90 degrees in eccentricity from a speech source located at zero degrees azimuth. Both psychoacoustic and neurophysiological data suggest that the perceptual benefit of the 90-...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Binaural hearing improves our ability to understand speech and to localize sounds. Hearing loss can interfere with binaural cues, and despite the success of amplification, ∼25% of people with bilateral hearing loss fit with two hearing aids choose to wear only one (e.g., Brooks and Bulmer, 1981). One explana...
