DESCRIPTION:Laurent Simon\, University Hospital Zurich\nWhen designing new
  hearing devices (physical designs or algorithms)\, the quality of the new
  designs is evaluated almost exclusively through some sort of intelligibil
 ity experiment in limited conditions. This provides a better control but d
 ismiss many of the problems that may occur in real life situations. As an 
 alternative\, it is possible to synthesize or reproduce realistic 3D audio
  environments using different loudspeaker- or headphone-based techniques. 
 This talk will present measurements that were conducted in order to choose
  the most appropriated 3D audio reproduction system for hearing aids evalu
 ation.\n\nBio:\nLaurent Simon received his PhD in psychoacoustics from the
  University of Surrey in 2011. From 2011 to 2013\, he studied audio source
  separation at INRIA\, Rennes\, before working on perceptual evaluation of
  binaural audio reproduction techniques at LIMSI until 2015. Laurent Simon
  is now doing a postdoc at the ORL Klinik of the University Hospital Züri
 ch\, where he studies the spatial auditory perception of patients using he
 aring aids\, focusing on localization and distance perception.
