Temporal resolution in background noise.
Temporal resolution is measured with a normal-hearing subject and with a hard-of-hearing subject having reduced temporal resolution. The data produced in a masking-period pattern and those produced in a simplified method are compared for conditions with and without background noise. It seems that for normal-hearing subjects, temporal resolution is somewhat improved in a noisy background condition. However, it remains strongly reduced for the hearing impaired.
