Temporal and masking phenomena in persons with sensorineural hearing loss.
Relatively few experimental investigations have studied backward or forward masking, masking level differences, or differential frequency effects in simultaneous masking among persons with hearing impairment. This is regrettable since such efforts may lead to important new understandings of auditory processes. This paper reviews available data, discusses some precautions of experimental procedure, and offers suggestions for future research directions.
