The influence of compression ratio and attack time could be shown for ILDs, but the effect was rather small, at least for the low compression ratios commonly used in hearing aids. The influence further decreased when attack time was prolonged. The dramatic impairment of the discrimination of ITDs with the hearing-impaired subjects in the high-frequency range suggests that they primarily rely on ILD cues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
