Combined psychoacoustic and envelope-following-response measures can dissociate hearing-loss subtypes

Evidence

To conclude, differential psychoacoustic and EFR methods methods form a promising candidate to separate different aspects of hearing loss in listeners with mixed sensorineural pathologies. Differential diagnostic metrics separating cochlear gain loss from temporal coding deficits are necessary to understand contributions of different interacting pathologies to the perceptual performance. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5903
