Figure 1

Schematic representation of the spatial conditions for the speech in noise test. Stimuli were presented at 0° azimuth (‘0’), at 90° azimuth on the NH (good) side (‘g’), or at 90° azimuth on the deaf side (‘d’). Participants were seated in the middle between the loudspeakers (1 m distance), with their ears at the same level as the loudspeakers. They were instructed to face the loudspeaker at 0° azimuth.
