The results of this study reveal systematic developmental changes in speech recognition in noisy and reverberant environments for elementary-school-aged children. The overall pattern suggests that younger children require better acoustic conditions to achieve sentence recognition equivalent to their older peers and adults. In addition, this is the first study to report a reduction of masking release in children as a result of reverberation. Results support the importance of minimizing noise and reverberation in classrooms, and highlight the need to incorporate noise and reverberation into audiological speech-recognition testing to improve predictions of performance in the real world.
