Abstract	To respond to reverberation effectively, modern speech processing tasks like signal enhancement in digital hearing aids or distant-talking speech recognition often require precise knowledge of the acoustic situation. A common measure is the (frequency-dependent) reverberation time $T_{60}.$ Explicit measurement using sound excitations is not possible for most applications, therefore blind estimation of subband $T_{60}$ from speech signals is employed. Previous approaches are either limited to $T_{60}$ between 0...1.5 s, or require long speech signals and costly computation. We propose an efficient algorithm that estimates $T_{60}$ up to 6 s from short speech signals of no more than 20 s. In experiments with real room impulse responses (RIR) the algorithm exhibits state-of-the-art performance for $T_{60}$ up to 1.5 s and superior performance for longer $T_{60}.$
