TABLE 7.
A list of stimuli used in experiment 3
| Stimulus No. | Left Ear | Right Ear | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Full bandwidth | — | Normal unilateral hearing |
| 3.2 | Full bandwidth | Vocoded full bandwidth | SSD with CI simulation |
| 3.3 | Full bandwidth | Full bandwidth | Normal bilateral hearing |
| 3.4 | Low-pass filter: 500 Hz | — | Hearing loss simulation |
| 3.5 | Low-pass filter: 500 Hz | Vocoded full bandwidth | Bimodal simulation |
| 3.6 | Low-pass filter: 500 Hz | Full bandwidth | Unilateral hearing loss simulation |
| 13 | 6-channel noise vocoder with 6.5 mm shift | — | Low quality anchor stimulus which presumably sounds worse than all other stimuli |
Please note that the anchor (stimulus 13) and reference (stimulus 1) are identical to those used in experiments 1 and 2.
CI, cochlear implant; SSD, single-sided deafness.
