Valence perception relies solely on pitch, unaffected by hearing loss or aids

Evidence

It has been demonstrated that FS is also important for lexical tone perception in listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), but as their hearing loss becomes more severe, their ability to use FS becomes degraded so that their lexical tone perception relies increasingly on E rather than FS cues (Wang et al. 2011 ). The reduced frequency selectivity may underlie the impaired ability to process FS information for SNHL listeners. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3380 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
