The acoustic and perceptual effects of single-microphone noise reduction in hearing aids on Mandarin fricatives and affricates

Single-microphone noise reduction (SMNR) is implemented in hearing aids to suppress background noise. The noise-like feature in fricatives and affricates is susceptible to SMNR processing when background noise is present. Most SMNR studies have examined English speech materials but very few have exa...
