In ordinary listening environments, acoustic signals reaching the ears directly from real
sound sources are followed after a few milliseconds by early reflections arriving from nearby …

Since cochlear implant function involves direct depolarization of spiral ganglion neurons
(SGNs) by applied current, SGN physiological health must be an important factor in cochlear …

The ability of listeners to localize sound sources has been a subject of great interest to
natural philosophers, physicists, and physiologists (and later to psychophysicists and …

In mammals, localization of sound sources in azimuth depends on sensitivity to interaural
differences in sound timing (ITD) and level (ILD). Paradoxically, while typical ILD-sensitive …

Recent evidence has shown that auditory information may be used to improve postural
stability, spatial orientation, navigation, and gait, suggesting an auditory component of self …

Previous studies have shown that normal-hearing (NH) listeners' spatial perception of non-
stationary interaural time differences (ITDs) is dominated by the carrier ITD during rising …

For deaf patients cochlear implants (CIs) can restore substantial amounts of functional
hearing. However, binaural hearing, and in particular, the perception of interaural time …

Temporal variation in listeners' sensitivity to interaural time and level differences (ITD and
ILD) was assessed using the temporal weighting function (TWF) paradigm [Stecker and …

Acoustic simulation of cochlear implants (CIs) allows studies of not only perceptual
performance in normal-hearing listeners but also relative contribution of spectral and …

Listeners detected interaural differences of time (ITDs) or level (ILDs) carried by single 4000-
Hz Gabor clicks (Gaussian-windowed tone bursts) and trains of 16 such clicks repeating at …
