Speech perception through FM auditory trainers in noise and reverberation.
Speech perception through FM auditory trainers was explored in conditions of noise and reverberation. Special attention was paid to the mode of transmission and individual capabilities of various commercially-available units to handle speech in noise and reverberation. Results indicate an overwhelming advantage of FM transmission for maintaining speech intelligibility in noise and reverberation, irrespective of the instrument.
