Recent developments in the field of psychoacoustics are presented, focusing on areas which have application in the diagnosis and understanding of impaired hearing. Cochlear hearing loss often results in a loss of the compressive non-linearity that operates in normal ears; this loss is probably the main cause of loudness recruitment. Forward masking can be used as a tool to assess the strength of cochlear compression in human listeners. Hearing impairment can sometimes be associated with complete loss of function of inner hair cells over a certain region of the cochlea, resulting in a ‘dead region’. Two psychoacoustic methods for detecting dead regions and defining their limits are described. The implications of the results for fitting heari...
