Growing evidence shows that individual differences among listeners with normal hearing
thresholds reflect underlying differences in how well the auditory system encodes temporal …

Derived-band click-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were obtained for normal-
hearing (NH) and sensorineurally hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. The latencies extracted …

Discharges of auditory nerve fibers are synchronized to stimulus frequencies below 4–5
kHz. The phase-locking phenomenon has been studied in considerable detail in several …

Anecdotally, middle-aged listeners report difficulty conversing in social settings, even when
they have normal audiometric thresholds [1–3]. Moreover, young adult listeners with" …

Behavioral studies in humans suggest that sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) decreases
sensitivity to the temporal structure of sound, but neurophysiological studies in mammals …

The question of how frequency is coded in the peripheral auditory system remains
unresolved. Previous research has suggested that slow rates of frequency modulation (FM) …

Human perception fluctuates with the phase of neural oscillations in the presence of
environmental rhythmic structure by which neural oscillations become entrained. However …

Many listeners with hearing thresholds within the clinically normal range nonetheless
complain of difficulty hearing in everyday settings and understanding speech in noise …

Clinical audiometry has long focused on determining the detection thresholds for pure tones,
which depend on intact cochlear mechanics and hair cell function. Yet many listeners with …

Historically, central auditory responses have been studied for their sensitivity to various
parameters of tone and noise burst stimulation, with response rate plotted as a function of …
