Despite over 100 years of study, there are still many fundamental questions about binaural
hearing that remain unanswered, including how impairments of binaural function are related …

Purpose To evaluate the test–retest reliability of a headphone-based spatial release from a
masking task with two maskers (referred to here as the SR2) and to describe its relationship …

Purpose Growing evidence supports the inclusion of perceptual tests that quantify the
processing of temporal fine structure (TFS) in clinical hearing assessment. Many tasks have …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to report normative data and predict thresholds for a
rapid test of spatial release from masking for speech perception. The test is easily …

Objective The primary objective of this experiment was to measure the temporal and spatial
processing capabilities of older individuals and use statistical models to identify the …

The auditory system is unique among sensory systems in its ability to phase lock to and
precisely follow very fast cycle-by-cycle fluctuations in the phase of sound-driven cochlear …

This thesis aims to investigate how one fundamental component of the inner-ear (cochlear)
response to all sounds, the temporal fine structure (TFS), is used by the auditory system in …
