Abstract:

Our systematic program of research showed that 1) hearing losses, even when slight and/or clinically negligible, can adversely affect binaural (two-eared) processing and 2) the observed losses of precision of ITD-coding appear to support the proposition that differences in the precision of ITD-coding are more attributable to differences in hearing level than to (correlated) differences in age. Quantitative modeling revealed that that the degradations of binaural processing accompanying slight and/or hidden loss stem principally (if not, solely) from noisy monaural neural inputs to a binaural comparator.
