HEAD acoustics ABLE Automatically Assesses Perceived Listening Effort of Speech
Environmental noise impairs the intelligibility of received speech signals in headphones, mobile phones, in-vehicle hands-free terminals and in-car communication systems. In order to evaluate the influence of background noise on speech signals automatically and reproducibly, HEAD acoustics has developed “ABLE” (Assessment of Binaural Listening Effort), a method to predict perceived listening effort, available as a new option for the measuring and analysis software ACQUA.
