Sensorineural hearing loss has been consistently associated with deficits in frequency analysis in addition to the loss of sensitivity. However, temporal processing may be relatively normal in many hearing‐impaired (HI) individuals. For these listeners it might be possible to improve speech recognition...
Statistical ,Low-Frequency, TonesThe statistical distribution of normal hearing thresholds for pure tones in the low-frequency (LF) region was estimated as a function of frequency, using a similar procedure to that used in an earlier work by the authors Kurakata et al., [3]. First, the ...
Signal frequency was 1.0 or 4.0 kHz, which placed the signal in a region of normal (1.0 kHz) or impaired (4.0 kHz) absolute sensitivity for the impaired ears. For the normal-subjects, the effects of signal frequency and masker level were similar to those published previously. In particular,...
Current studies indicate the fact that elderly individuals may present a hearing processing disorder even without a structural lesion explaining it directly. AIM: To characterize the performance of elderly people with normal hearing sensitivity in the Frequency Standard and Duration Patterns Tests. STUDY ...
Nonverbal perceptual scores were lower for the hearing-impaired group under all presentation conditions. Perception of prosodic features of speech by hearing-impaired subjects was significantly related to low-frequency hearing sensitivity. Between-group differences in the decoding of visually transmitted non...
Behavioral research has demonstrated that, even without substantial spectral cues, normal-hearing (NH) listeners achieve good speech perception in quiet, on the condition that low-frequency envelope modulations in several frequency bands are preserved (Drullman et al., 1994; Shannon et al., 1995)....
These results are consistent with the view that subjects with normal hearing and mild-to-moderate hearing loss have similar tuning around a frequency for which the hearing loss exists, but reduced cochlear-amplifier gain. 展开 关键词: Sound pressure Deafness Hearing Otoacoustic emission Acoustical ...
Compression near threshold was estimated by measuring the level of a 100 ms off-frequency (0.45fs) pure-tone forward masker required to mask a 44 ms pure-tone signal presented at sensation levels of 5 and 10 dB. There was a significant negative correlation between amount of temporal ...
'maxCF', cf8: value of the center frequency of the last filter in the modulation filterbank. The default value is 128 Hz if the normalization is off and 30 Hz if normalization is on. The outputs are ratio, which is the SRMR score, and energy, a 3D matrix with the per-frame modulat...
