Figure 4

Temporal integration data from Florentine et al. (1988) for NH listeners (solid curves), HI listeners (filled and unfilled circles), and noise-masked NH listeners (X symbols connected by dashed lines). Results for listeners with flat hearing loss are shown in the top row, mildly sloping high-frequency loss in the middle row, and steeply sloping high-frequency loss in the bottom row. Within each row data are plotted for 250 Hz (first column), 1000 Hz (second column), and 4000 Hz (third column). At each of the three test frequencies, the threshold obtained for a 500-msec signal was subtracted from the threshold obtained at each of the test durations. This threshold difference in dB is plotted as a function of signal duration. Filled circles represent data from the HI subject whose loss was simulated in the noise-masked NH listeners; unfilled circles represent data from another HI listener with a similar audiogram.
