Broadband masking can compare filter-widening harm against temporal-coding harm
Evidence
A second differential measure uses a fixed level-broadband noise masker (BB, 1 octave) to test whether auditory filter widening due to cochlear gain loss is more detrimental than temporal coding fidelity in processing temporal modulations in the presence of background noise. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5875
