German Annual Conf. Acoust. (DAGA)}, URL = {http://www.daga2016.de/fileadmin/uploads/2016.daga-tagung.de/Programm/DAGA16_Programm_online.pdf}, abstract = {The amount of spatial release from masking is mainly determined by the change in interaural time difference (ITD) of the noise relative to the ITD of the signal. Accordingly, speech-in-noise with frontal speech presentation and noise from the front or back (S0N0 and S0N180 conditions) lead to similar detection and speech intelligibility thresholds. However, head movements can introduce dynamic binaural cues that may lead to a release from masking (RFM). In this study the effect of dynamic binaural cues on speech intelligibility was investigated for lowpass and highpass filtered signals to assess the influence of ITDs and interaural level differences (ILD). Movements were implemented as modulations of the nominal azimuths of the sound sources (S0N180, S0N0). These modulations were either in-phase or anti-phase for S and N. The stimuli were rendered using 11. order ambisonics with ’basic’ decoding, and presented via loudspeakers. Speech and noise signals were filtered at 1000 Hz (lowpass), 1500 Hz (highpass) or unfiltered. Results show a significant RFM with dynamic binaural cues for S0N0 in all filter conditions. For S0N180 only the unfiltered condition shows a significant RFM (funded by DFG FOR1732).} }
