Temporal resolution deficits, not frequency resolution, drive fine-structure processing failure
Evidence
The monaural and binaural processing of TFS is adversely affected by both increasing age and cochlear hearing loss. The efficiency of processing monaural ENV information may be adversely affected by increasing age, but the temporal resolution of ENV cues appears to be unaffected. The processing of binaural ENV information is adversely affected by increasing age. Cochlear hearing loss does not markedly affect the processing of monaural or binaural ENV information. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 824 (
