Psychoacoustics of normal and impaired hearing.
Recent developments in the field of psychoacoustics are presented, focusing on areas which have application in the diagnosis and understanding of impaired hearing. Cochlear hearing loss often results in a loss of the compressive non-linearity that operates in normal ears; this loss is probably the main cause of loudness recruitment. Forward masking can be used as a tool to assess the strength o...
متن کاملComparison of the Speech Syntactic Features between Hearing-Impaired and Normal Hearing Children
Introduction: The present study seeks to describe and analyze the syntactic features of children with severely hearing loss who had access to the hearing aids compared with children with normal hearing, assigning them to the same separate gender classes. Materials and Methods: In the present study, eight children with severe hearing impairment who used a hearing aid and eight hearing children...
متن کاملPsychophysics of normal and impaired hearing.
A central theme in the perception of sound by normally hearing and hearing-impaired listeners is the frequency-analysing capacity of the auditory system. This capacity plays a role in our ability to detect signals in masking noise, to identify the timbre of speech and musical sounds, and to perceive the pitch of complex tones. The basic properties of these abilities can be understood by conceiv...
متن کاملSelective attention in normal and impaired hearing.
A common complaint among listeners with hearing loss (HL) is that they have difficulty communicating in common social settings. This article reviews how normal-hearing listeners cope in such settings, especially how they focus attention on a source of interest. Results of experiments with normal-hearing listeners suggest that the ability to selectively attend depends on the ability to analyze t...
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...
