Over the past year, remote speech intelligibility testing has become a popular and necessary alternative to traditional in-person experiments due to the need for physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. A remote framework was developed for conducting speech intelligibility tests with normal hearing listeners. In this study, subjects used their personal computers to complete sentence recognition tasks in anechoic and reverberant listening environments. The results obtained using this remote framework were compared with previously collected in-lab results, and showed higher levels of speech intelligibility among remote study participants than subjects who completed the test in the laboratory.
