Hearing impairments hidden in normal listeners.
E arly and accurate diagnosis of sensory deficits is a public health concern with major scientific and financial implications. Several fundamental requirements conspire to make this goal a difficult one to achieve; among them is the necessity for welldesigned quick tests that can pinpoint the nature of the deficits. Another is the need for a deep understanding of the functional organization of ...
متن کاملPerceptual coherence in listeners having longstanding childhood hearing losses, listeners with adult-onset hearing losses, and listeners with normal hearing.
Perceptual coherence, the process by which the individual elements of complex sounds are bound together, was examined in adult listeners with longstanding childhood hearing losses, listeners with adult-onset hearing losses, and listeners with normal hearing. It was hypothesized that perceptual coherence would vary in strength between the groups due to their substantial differences in hearing hi...
متن کاملBinaural pitch perception in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners.
The effects of hearing impairment on the perception of binaural-pitch stimuli were investigated. Several experiments were performed with normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners, including detection and discrimination of binaural pitch, and melody recognition using different types of binaural pitches. For the normal-hearing listeners, all types of binaural pitches could be perceived immedi...
متن کاملIntensity discrimination in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners.
Weber fractions (delta I/I) for gated 500-ms tones at 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz, and at levels of the standard ranging from absolute threshold to 97 dB SPL, were measured in quiet and in high-pass noise in five listeners with cochlear hearing loss and in three normal-hearing listeners. In regions of hearing loss, the Weber fractions at a given SPL were sometimes normal. When the Weber fractions...
متن کاملVowel Perception in Listeners With Normal Hearing and in Listeners With Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of hearing loss on perception of vowel slices. METHODS Fourteen listeners aged 20-27 participated; ten (6 males) had hearing within normal limits and four (3 males) had moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Stimuli were six naturally-produced words consisting of the vowels /i a u æ ɛ ʌ/ in a /b V b/ context. Each word was presented as a whole...
