    3. Localization helps selectively attend to target speech

    6. Binaural perception helps localize speech and segregate it from complex backgrounds.

    10. GOAL: To investigate SRM in hearing-impaired listeners when spatial cues are fully available and when they are limited. To investigate if the benefit obtained from spatial separation is the same for NH and HI.

    11. Subjects Five subjects with sloping, symmetrical, SNHL Average age was 69 years; range = 55-79 yrs

    12. Materials Target speech = 5 digits spoken by male Maskers = two samples of speech by two different female talkers. Subjects to repeat the target speech Feedback was provided Methods (Cont…)

    13. Four Conditions (under headphones):

    15. II. Diotic Target and Dichotic Maskers (SRM with ILD Only)

    16. III. Diotic Target and Dichotic Maskers (SRM with ITD Only)

    17. IV. Diotic Target and Dichotic Maskers (SRM with ITD + ILD)

    18. Results

    22. Thank you!
