Differential Effects of Low-Frequency Filtering of Speech on the Discriminatory Facility of Sensorineural Hypacusis

A long-standing controversy concerning the pros and cons of Vll selective amplification for the sensorineural hypacusic has been and is now being waged.

Description
Summary:A long-standing controversy concerning the pros and cons of Vll selective amplification for the sensorineural hypacusic has been and is now being waged. There exists clinical evidence to the effect that some cases with high -frequency sensorineural hearing loss can receive benefit through selective amplification. The purpose of this study was to examine several aspects of the speech signal that could be affecting intelligibility when speech is presented at high -intensity levels.
