Gap detection and amplitude modulation are usually intact after sensorineural loss

Evidence

Generally speaking, listeners with SNHL experience a variety of deficits in temporal processing, but not all measures of temporal processing demonstrate these deficits. For gap detection and amplitude modulation, listeners with hearing loss in general do not experience deficits. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1117

Categorization

• QUESTION: Why would temporal integration suffer but gap detection and AM be spared? This dissociation is exactly the kind of pointer to distinct neural mechanisms worth deep-diving.
• XREF: Dissociated deficits across psychoacoustic tasks echo the reader’s broader theme of what hearing loss preserves versus destroys — relevant to both-normal-vs-impaired comparisons collected across the book.
