This study examined both the identification and discrimination of vowels by three listener groups: elderly hearing-impaired, elderly normal-hearing, and young normal-hearing. Each hearing-impaired listener had a longstanding symmetrical, sloping, mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Two signal levels [70 and 95 dB sound-pressure level (SPL)] were selected to assess the effects of audibi...
