Speech processing strategies should restore F0-synchrony profiles rather than AN spectra

Evidence

This result suggests an experimental question: If the profile of peripheral F0-synchrony in response to voiced sounds can be restored to normal for these listeners, can intelligibility of speech, and especially speech in background noise, be improved? The results of such a test would depend on the status of central auditory pathways, which may undergo change following cochlear trauma (Suneja et al. 1998 ; Salvi et al. 2000 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5472
