Key Points
Augmentation of individual head-related transfer functions improved spatial release from masking significantly, enhancing speech intelligibility.
Initial findings show that auditory models tend to overestimate improvement from HRTF augmentations, indicating a potential need for model refinement.
Participants' familiarity with individual cues appears to influence the observed gains in speech-in-noise performance, suggesting a complex interplay between perception and augmentation.
The proposed method effectively reduces spatial spreading issues prevalent in prior HRTF augmentation techniques, improving overall speech clarity.
