Sensorineural hearing loss reduces temporal integration benefit by half or more

Evidence

Not surprisingly, temporal integration is also impacted by SNHL. Hall and Fernandes (1983) and Carlyon, Buus, and Florentine (1990) measured temporal integration in listeners with normal hearing and with SNHL and found that the benefit afforded by increasing the duration of the stimulus was about 1/2 or less for listeners with SNHL. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1112
