A Comparison of Psychometric Functions for Detection in Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners.

Arehart, Kathryn Hoberg; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n3 p433-39 Sep 1990

Psychometric functions (PFD) for the detection of pure tones were obtained from 10 adolescent and young adult listeners with normal hearing and 10 adult listeners with sensorineural impairments of presumed cochlear origin. The slopes of the PFDs were abnormally steep in some of the hearing-impaired listeners but were statistically significant only at 2000 hertz. (Author/DB)
