Towards predicting binaural audio quality in listeners with normal and impaired hearing

Thomas Biberger, Stephan D. Ewert

Eurich et al. (2024) recently introduced the computationally efficient monaural and binaural audio quality model (eMoBi-Q). This model integrates both monaural and binaural auditor…

Assessing Rate limits Using Behavioral and Neural Responses of Interaural-Time-Difference Cues in Fine-Structure and Envelope

Hongmei Hu, Stephan Ewert, Birger Kollmeier +1

The objective was to determine the effect of pulse rate on the sensitivity to use interaural-time-difference (ITD) cues and to explore the mechanisms behind rate-dependent degradat…

Lower Interaural Coherence in Off-Signal Bands Impairs Binaural Detection

Bernhard Eurich, Jörg Encke, Stephan D. Ewert +1

Differences in interaural phase configuration between a target and a masker can lead to substantial binaural unmasking. This effect is decreased for masking noises with an interaur…

Prediction of tone detection thresholds in interaurally delayed noise based on interaural phase difference fluctuations

Mathias Dietz, Jörg Encke, Kristin I. Bracklo +1

Differences between the interaural phase of a noise and a target tone improve detection thresholds. The maximum masking release is obtained for detecting an antiphasic tone (S)…

Computationally efficient spatial rendering of late reverberation in virtual acoustic environments

Christoph Kirsch, Josef Poppitz, Torben Wendt +2

For 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) interactive virtual acoustic environments (VAEs), the spatial rendering of diffuse late reverberation in addition to early (specular) reflections is…

Spatial resolution of late reverberation in virtual acoustic environments

Christoph Kirsch, Josef Poppitz, Torben Wendt +2

Late reverberation involves the superposition of many sound reflections resulting in a diffuse sound field. Since the spatially resolved perception of individual diffuse reflection…

Towards a generalized monaural and binaural auditory model for psychoacoustics and speech intelligibility

Thomas Biberger, Stephan D. Ewert

Auditory perception involves cues in the monaural auditory pathways as well as binaural cues based on differences between the ears. So far auditory models have often focused on eit…
