Speech is characterized by temporal and spectral modulations. Hearing-impaired (HI) listeners may have reduced spectrotemporal modulation (STM) sensitivity, which could affect their speech understanding. This study examined effects of hearing loss and absolute frequency on STM sensitivity and their relationship to speech intelligibility, frequency selectivity and temporal fine-structure (TFS) sensitivity. Sensitivity to STM applied to four-octave or one-octave noise carriers were measured for normal-hearing and HI listeners as a function of spectral modulation, temporal modulation and absolute frequency. Across-frequency variation in STM sensitivity suggests that broadband measurements do not sufficiently characterize performance. Result...
