The leisure-noise dilemma: hearing loss or hearsay? What does the literature tell us?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Watching a talker's mouth is beneficial for speech reception (SR) in many communication settings, especially in noise and when hearing is impaired. Measures for audiovisual (AV) SR can be valuable in the framework of diagnosing or treating hearing disorders. This study addresses the lack of standardized meth...
