Auditory difference limen for duration in deaf and hearing listeners

This paper reviews a study to determine if deaf children can discriminate fine durational changes in acoustic signals or whether the impairment of the peripheral auditory system interferes with the temporal precision necessary for such tasks.

Difference limens for first formant frequencies of synthesized vowels in hearing-impaired listeners

This paper studies auditory-vowel perception abilities of the hearing impaired. The study investigated the relationship among the difference limen for first formant frequencies of synthesized vowels in severe and profoundly hearing-impaired listeners, degree of hearing low, and general auditory speech perception.

Difference between default telecoil and programmed microphone frequency response in behind-the-ear hearing aids

The notion that the default telecoil (t-coil) frequency response should match the programmed microphone frequency response to provide optimal telephone understanding for hearing aid patients has received little attention. This study addresses differences in the average frequency response of the two transducers in behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.
