TL;DR: The design criteria, the realisation process, and the final selection of nine test signals on a CD show the effectiveness of the ICRA noises, and some initial steps are proposed to develop a standard method of technical specification of noise reduction based on the modulation characteristics.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ICRA noises show the effectiveness of the noise reduction schemes, and some initial steps are proposed to develop a standard method of technical specification of noise reduction based on the modulation characteristics.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that the extended SII model is able to predict the SRTs for the majority of conditions, but that predictions are better when the extendedSII model includes a function to account for forward masking.

TL;DR: In this article, a heterogeneous group of ten hearing-impaired adolescents were studied, and relations between several psychophysical test results and speech reception thresholds in quiet and noise were studied.

TL;DR: Despite the general lack of improvement in SRT, some algorithms were preferred over the unprocessed condition at all tested signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and these effects were found across different subject groups and test sites.
