	abstract = {Project aims at providing an audio signal presentationwhich is optimized
to the individual preference and any hearing impairment in a situation
and presentation-material-aware way. Previous studies have shown that
individual listening preferences, although quite stable within subjects, differed
markedly across the group. Therefore, in the present study, to find
out possible sources of variability, subjects with normal or slightly impaired
hearing are selected according to three factors: age, speech intelligibility
performance and audiogram, and assigned to test groups so that
- within each group - subjects differ in only one of the factors. Each person
performs a battery of tests using speech stimuli in noise and quiet.
In the first set of experiments, the reaction to very basic signal modifications
such as broadband gain, equalization, allowed amount of artifacts
due to dynamic range compression or clipping is assessed to optimize
the presentation mode to each individual. The second part assesses
preferred processing schemes of a complex speech enhancement algorithm
together with the benefit of such enhancement. This systematic
data base will be used to investigate if basic individual factors are related
to listening preferences and if preferences with respect to simple signal
modifications generalize to more complex processing schemes.}
