Abstract :
Summary form only given. Hearing-aid manufacturers have introduced so-called smart noise-suppression systems that intelligently adapt in the presence of background noise, thereby improving the hearing-aid user´s ability to hear under adverse listening conditions. How well hearing-aid users perform on speech recognition measures with commercially available noise suppression systems is addressed
