What this paper is

This is a systematic review of experimental psychoacoustic studies examining how listeners adapt to reverberation for speech perception. It synthesizes findings from laboratory experiments using virtual acoustic environments and behavioral tasks. It reports no clinical trials, patient outcomes, or therapeutic interventions, so there are no findings here to change clinical practice.
