Temporal modulation sensitivity predicts speech understanding in noise
Evidence
Further work in this area should consider other psychophysical predictors that are known to be associated with speech understanding, such as measures of temporal modulation sensitivity, and EEG measures that more closely match the stimuli used in the psychophysics. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4217
