Speech Perception and Gap Detection Performance of Single-Sided Deafness under Noisy Conditions

摘要

Background and ObjectivesMany studies have reported no benefit of sound localization, but improved speech understanding in noise after treating patients with single-sided deafness (SSD). Furthermore, their performances provided a large individual difference. The present study aimed to measure the ability of speech perception and gap detection in noise for the SSD patients to better understand their hearing nature.
