Complex broadband sounds are decomposed by the auditory filters into a series of relatively
narrowband signals, each of which can be considered as a slowly varying envelope (E) …

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the
fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major …

Temporal fine structure (TFS) sensitivity, frequency selectivity, and speech reception in noise
were measured for young normal-hearing (NHY), old normal-hearing (NHO), and hearing …

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 …

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

Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured with a competing talker background for
signals processed to contain variable amounts of temporal fine structure (TFS) information …

The book is concerned with changes in the perception of sound that are associated with
hearing loss and aging. Hearing loss affects about 7% of the population in developed …

This chapter is concerned with the perception of pitch by people with cochlear hearing loss
and by people with cochlear implants. These topics are of interest not only because of their …

The ability of normally hearing and hearing-impaired subjects to use temporal fine structure
information in complex tones was measured. Subjects were required to discriminate a …

Natural sounds convey information via frequency and amplitude modulations (FM and AM).
Humans are acutely sensitive to the slow rates of FM that are crucial for speech and music …
