Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Speech CommunicationAuthor(s): Felipe Orduña-Bustamante, A.L. Padilla-Ortiz, Edgar A. Torres-GallegosAbstractSubjective intelligibility tests were carried out by processing speech through personal and non-personal Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) for azimuth angle θ=+30∘ (sound source to the right), presented through headphones, under simulated adverse listening conditions. Tests with noise disturbance were also conducted at azimuth angles of θ=0∘, 15° and 45°. Phonetically balanced bi-syllable words in Spanish, uttered by a mexican female speaker, were used as speech material. Stimuli were convolved with personal or non-personal HRTF, and artificially contaminated with noise or reverberation, interaurally correlated ...
