A comparison of object-based and scene-based compression in virtual reality

Despite technological advances, the main function of hearing aids remains sound amplification. To avoid overamplification, hearing aids use wide dynamic range compression (WDRC), which allows for controlling the amount of gain depending on the input sound level. As a side effect of these non-linear modifications, WDRC introduces undesired distortions, especially when applied to sound mixtures. In this study, we introduce an alternative …
