ANSD impairs temporal processing while keeping cochlear amplification function intact

Evidence

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is an auditory disorder characterized by dys-synchrony of the auditory nerve firing but normal cochlear amplification function. Several studies have demonstrated that ANSD listeners have a dramatically impaired ability for processing temporal information (Zeng et al. 1999 ; Narne 2013 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3381

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines ANSD as a dys-synchrony disorder with normal cochlear amplification but impaired temporal processing.
• XREF: Connects to the broader research interest in how temporal-vs-spectral cues map onto perception — this chapter is a case study in cue dissociation.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3381
