Enhanced cues still leave hearing-impaired MAA far above normal-hearing performance

Evidence

When the two data sets are compared (see Fig. 6 ), it is noteworthy that even though the use of enhanced cues improves the HI performance in the MAA measurements (from around 30° to around 20°), the mean performance with enhanced cues is still substantially poorer than NH mean performance, which is around 10° with all three types of cues. It may be questioned whether improving the MAA from 30° to 20° will result in any perceivable real-life benefit, but answering this question will obviously require further testing including training test subjects to exploit modified pinna cues. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3128
