Over 360 million people worldwide suffer from disabling hearing loss. Most of them can be
treated with hearing aids. Unfortunately, performance with hearing aids and the benefit …

This review addresses the putative role of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex in
psychophysical masking and intensity resolution in humans. A framework for interpreting …

This study considered consequences of sensorineural hearing loss in ten listeners. The
characterization of individual hearing loss was based on psychoacoustic data addressing …

Auditory-nerve fibers demonstrate dynamic response properties in that they adapt to rapid
changes in sound level, both at the onset and offset of a sound. These dynamic response …

Medial olivocochlear efferent neurons can control cochlear frequency selectivity and may be
activated in a reflexive manner by contralateral sounds. The present study investigated the …

The tuning of a linear filter may be inferred from the filter's isoresponse (eg, tuning curves) or
isoinput (eg, isolevel curves) characteristics. This paper provides a theoretical …

This paper reviews the psychophysical forward masking methods that have been used to
investigate place specificity in cochlear implantees. These experiments are relevant for …

Differentiating the relative importance of the various contributors to the audiometric loss (HL
TOTAL) of a given hearing impaired listener and frequency region is becoming critical as …

Identifying the multiple contributors to the audiometric loss of a hearing impaired (HI) listener
at a particular frequency is becoming gradually more useful as new treatments are …

Individual estimates of cochlear compression may provide complementary information to
traditional audiometric hearing thresholds in disentangling different types of peripheral …
