Abstract:Sensorineural hearing loss results both in a reduced sensitivity to sound, as well as suprathreshold deficits, such as loudness recruitment and degraded spectral and temporal resolution. To compensate for loudness recruitment, most hearing aids apply level-dependent amplification, such as multi-channel wide dynamic-range compression. However, the most appropriate choice of parameters, such as the time constants and the number of channels, has been controversial. Speech intelligibility has been often considered… Show more
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.
