In order to determine the effects of hearing loss and spectral shaping on a dynamic spectral
speech cue, behavioral identification and neural response patterns of stop-consonant stimuli …

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

Auditory nerve single-unit population studies have demonstrated that phase-locking plays a
dominant role in the neural encoding of the spectrum of speech sounds. Since the scalp …

Modulations in both amplitude and frequency are prevalent in natural sounds and are critical
in defining their properties. Humans are exquisitely sensitive to frequency modulation (FM) …

Frequency selectivity, temporal fine-structure (TFS) processing, and speech reception were
assessed for six normal-hearing (NH) listeners, ten sensorineurally hearing-impaired (HI) …

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

Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

Differences in the temporal fine structure (TFS) of sounds at the two ears are used for sound
localization and for the perceptual analysis of complex auditory scenes. The ability to …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the processing of temporal
fine structure diminishes with age, even in the presence of relatively normal audiometric …
