Spatial sound control for testing multi-channel audio devices

用于测试多声道音频设备的空间声音控制。该项目旨在测试替代收听设备/个人声音放大设备(PSAP)，多输入音频设备由于其价格实惠和易于获得而快速取代助听器。随着越来越多的消费者选择PSAP，需要进行适当的测试来评估设备在现实生活中的声学情况下的安全性和益处。该项目将在实验室中测试PSAP，这些实验室使用空间音频处理技术来模拟真实的声学环境，并开发理论框架来克服现有的精确空间声音再现的限制。这项研究有望为保障澳大利亚未来的听力健康提供创新的解决方案。

Spatial sound control for testing multi-channel audio devices. This project aims to test Alternative Listening Devices/Personal Sound Amplification Devices (PSAPs), multi-input audio devices fast replacing hearing aids due to their affordability and easy accessibility. With more consumers choosing PSAPs, proper testing is needed to assess the devices’ safety and benefit in real-life acoustic situations. This project will test PSAPs in laboratory setups that use spatial audio processing techniques to mimic realistic acoustic environments, and develop theoretical frameworks to overcome existing limitations to accurate spatial sound reproduction. This research is expected to provide innovative solutions to safeguard Australia's future hearing health.
