Speech Locator In-car Performance Evaluation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Investigational adaptive directional microphone strategy, Comparator omnidirectional microphone strategy, and 1 other intervention for Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Listeners will conduct sound quality ratings of recordings talkers in a moving car processed using three different microphone processing strategies: an investigational adaptive directional microphone, an omnidirectional microphone and a fixed directional microphone. Participants will listen to the recordings streamed via commercially-available and individually-prescribed hearing aids, and conduct ratings onsite in the lab. The procedure will involve a training session and within-subject repeated measures. Stimuli will be randomized.

Timeline
Interventions
A receiver-in-canal hearing aid developed by the Study Sponsor used with the investigational adaptive directional microphone strategy that is expected to improve sound quality of speech in a car.
A receiver-in-canal hearing aid developed by the Study Sponsor used with the comparator omnidirectional microphone strategy that is used with the default settings as specified in the manufacturer's fitting software.
A receiver-in-canal hearing aid developed by the Study Sponsor used with the comparator fixed directional microphone strategy that is used with the default settings as specified in the manufacturer's fitting software.
