Listening Effort, Speech Intelligibility, and Narrow Directionality
This article outlines results from an experiment at the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) using a narrow-directionality (binaural beamformer) feature, and shows the advantage of this type of directional feature in situations where listening to a frontal target speech is a challenging task, and a closed fitting is acceptable.

A Controlled Study on the Effectiveness of Fractal Tones on Subjects with Minimal Need for Amplification
Previous tinnitus studies have demonstrated the benefits of fractal tones and Widex Zen Therapy (WZT) when used in conjunction with amplification, but there have been no studies on the use of fractal tones alone for tinnitus sufferers who do not require or wish to consider amplification. Until now...
BrainHearing: Maximizing Hearing and Listening
BrainHearing endeavors to help the brain orient, separate, focus, and recognize sounds in order to apply meaning through the use of modern and highly sophisticated technologies and improved hearing aid fitting protocols to maximize hearing and listening.

Improvement in Speech Intelligibility and Subjective Benefit with Binaural Beamformer Technology
New adaptive behavior of Phonak binaural beamformer StereoZoom provides significant benefit in speech intelligibility and subjective rating as compared to static or monaural beamformers. This benefit is most evident in difficult listening environments such as when noise is predominantly present from the sides.
