A New Approach to Hearing Aid Directionality: Three-Microphone and Two-Microphone Hearing Aids for Speech Intelligibility
In our study, M&RIE outperformed the omnidirectional mode in speech understanding tests under quiet and different noise conditions. Since placing the microphone in the ear canal is the most natural place for sound collection, M&RIE could potentially benefit any hearing aid user within the gain range of the device.
