Vertical-plane discrimination may improve when pinna cues are shifted to a perceptible band

Evidence

The main research question was: Are the enhanced pinna cues (T or W) easier to discriminate than natural pinna cues (N) for hearing-impaired test subjects? Thus, is the MAA obtained with natural pinna cues (MAAN ) significantly larger than the MAA obtained with the two types of enhanced pinna cues (MAAT , MAAW )? — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3053
