Auditory models can isolate single hearing-loss components that interact in real patients

Evidence

The hearing losses observed in patients will commonly involve multiple auditory problems and they will interact in complicated ways that make it difficult to distinguished the effects of any one component of auditory processing. The HI simulator shows how a single factor can be isolated using an auditory model, provided the model is sufficiently detailed. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4045
