Frequency Analysis in Normal and Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Recent studies of frequency analysis in listeners with normal hearing and in those with sensorineural hearing losses are reviewed and compared with related physiological data. These studies suggest that it is now possible to obtain detailed audiological or psychoacoustic data for human listeners that closely parallel physiological data obtained in eighth nerve recordings from animals. Implications of these developments for future research with impaired listeners are discussed.
