Abstract
Wojtczak and Viemeister [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, 1917-1924 (1999)] demonstrated a close relationship between intensity difference limens (DLs) and 4-Hz amplitude modulation (AM) detection thresholds in normal-hearing acoustic listeners. The present study demonstrates a similar relationship between intensity DLs and AM detection thresholds in cochlear-implant listeners, for gated stimuli. This suggests that acoustic and cochlear-implant listeners make use of a similar decision variable to perform intensity discrimination and modulation detection tasks. It can be shown that the absence of compression in electric hearing does not preclude this possibility.Mesh:
