The ability of listeners to identify consonants on the basis of primarily temporal information was compared with the predictions of a model based on amplitude modulation spectra. Listeners and model were presented with phonemes processed so that one to eight bands of spectral information remained. The similarity of the modulation spectra across phonemes was a strong predictor of the confusions made by human listeners, suggesting that a sparse set of time-averaged patterns of modulation energy...

The purpose of this study was to 1)determine the prevalence of personal music system use in young adults; and 2) measure the dB SPL in the ear canal of a small sample of these adults. The Personal Music System Use Survey was completed by over 1000 undergraduate students; over 90% reported using a personal music system with earphones and almost 90% reported listening at either a medium or loud volume. Mean dB SPL for the medium and loud volume categories were 71.6 and 87.7, respectively. These...

Environmental sound perception is an important concern for cochlear implant patients. In this study, a large 160-item test of environmental sound perception was developed and used to examine whether auditory training improves listeners' identification of environmental sounds processed by an acoustically simulated cochlear implant. Seven normal-hearing listeners identified spectrally-degraded stimuli obtained with a four-channel noise-based vocoder before and after five training sessions....

We examined the hypothesis that a natural auditory psychophysical discontinuity contributes to a perceptual category boundary between voiced-voiceless English stop consonants. Voice onset time (VOT) phonetic boundary and gap-detection thresholds for conditions in which the sounds delimiting the gap were acoustically identical or different were examined in English speakers. Statistically significant positive correlations and predictive linear relations were found between VOT phonetic boundaries..

This study examined age-related differences in listening to speech in music. In the first experiment, word identification accuracy was assessed in different background conditions (music or multitalker babble). In the second experiment, recognition recall was measured for background music heard during a word identification task. For older adults, word identification did not depend on the type of background, but for younger adults word identification was better when the background was familiar...

The purpose of this study was to investigate how young normal hearing (YNH) and elderly hearing-impaired (EHI) listeners make use of three redundant speech-like cues when classifying nonspeech sounds. Before the classification task, two experiments were conducted to verify the perceptual independence of the cues and to establish that each cue was easily discriminable for all the listeners. During the classification task, both YNH and EHI groups attended primarily to the frequency-transition...
