Temporal processing deficits undermine speech understanding and music appreciation

Evidence

Perceptual aspects of temporal processing are key elements contributing to our ability to decode both speech and musical signals, and degradations in temporal processing can undermine the ability to understand speech and appreciate music. In addition, the concept of temporal integration plays a role in experimental design for psychoacousticians, but audiologists should be knowledgeable of temporal integration, as the concept is foundational to audiometric testing. Additionally, hearing loss can impact some of these abilities, and its influence should be considered when designing experiments or conducting audiometric tests. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 936
