Similar critical durations do not imply normal temporal integration

Evidence

As we observe in Figure 5–22, listeners with hearing loss achieved their lowest threshold at a duration somewhere between 200 and 500 ms. This value is very similar to the critical duration that was observed for listeners with normal hearing. However, a similar critical duration does not automatically imply healthy temporal integration abilities, as we also observe that these listeners did not benefit from increasing the duration of the stimulus to the same degree as listeners with normal hearing. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1115
