SNHL impairs fine-structure use through poor frequency resolution while ANSD impairs temporal resolution

Evidence

Studies have shown that listeners with SNHL may have reduced frequency resolution (Kluk and Moore 2006 ), but probably normal temporal resolution (Glasberg et al. 1987 ). In contrast, listeners with ANSD may have a dramatically impaired ability for processing temporal information (Narne 2013 ), while their frequency selectivity may be close to normal (Vinay and Moore 2007 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3380
