Developmental hearing loss impairs signal detection in noise: putative central mechanisms
Listeners with hearing loss have difficulty processing sounds in noisy environments. This is most noticeable for speech perception, but is reflected in a basic auditory processing task: detecting a tonal signal in a noise background, i.e. simultaneous masking. It is unresolved whether the mechanisms...
