TL;DR: An analysis of variance showed that all the main effects: T, age, and monaural versus binaural listening were significant and the scores declined with T for all ages.

TL;DR: The results for the natural and synthetic syllables indicated that the effect of reverberation on identification of consonants following/s/ was not comparable to masking by either the /s/ -spectrum-shaped noise or the babble.

TL;DR: It is indicated that non‐native listeners who understand English very well in the absence of reverberation might have difficulty understanding speech in the presence of even moderate reverberation.

TL;DR: English consonant recognition in undegraded and degraded listening conditions was compared for listeners whose primary language was either Japanese or American English, with no difference between the scores obtained in noise and in reverberation for either group.

TL;DR: Reception of consonants was studied with normal‐hearing subjects in a sound‐treated classroom to compare binaural and monaural reception, with and without hearing aids, in the presence of an impulsive noise and a quasisteady noise.
