Additional information
<22> This is the first computer modeling study to show that the auditory efferent system helps speech intelligibility in background noise by reducing the effects of neural adaptation to the noise. The computer model has directly informed experiments at Purdue University (Prof. Elizabeth Strickland<estrick@purdue.edu>, demonstrating its impact in the field of psychoacoustics. The model provided the basis for a novel hearing aid developed at Essex University, which has been released for public evaluation in the form of an iPhone app (bioaid.org.uk - 12000 downloads to date).
