An improved understanding of the basic mechanisms of auditory perception will aid us in the quest to tackle the increasingly important problem of hearing loss in our aging population. …

This article reviews some recent findings on the basic mechanisms of pitch perception, and explores their implications for understanding auditory streaming in normal hearing, as well as …

One strong rationale is that people with sensorineural hearing loss and/or cochlear implants can be severely limited in their perception of pitch. Understanding how pitch is extracted in the …

Pitch is essentially the perceptual correlate of waveform periodicity, or repetition rate: The faster a waveform repeats over time, the higher its perceived pitch is. The most common pitch-evoking …

We know that different frequencies of sound waves are associated with differences in our perception of the pitch of those sounds. Low-frequency sounds are lower pitched, and high …

The frequency of a sound wave is associated with our perception of that sound’s pitch. High-frequency sound waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while low-frequency sound …

Data from normal-hearing listeners suggest that the low-frequency, low-numbered harmonics within complex tones are of prime importance in pitch perception and in the perceptual …

Jan 1, 2008 · The ability to hear changes in pitch (frequency discrimination) is adversely affected by cochlear hearing loss. This chapter describes frequency discrimination and pitch perception …

Feb 22, 2024 · Pitch perception refers to the auditory system’s ability to interpret and differentiate between various sound frequencies, including the fundamental frequency (F0) and harmonics, …

Sensorineural hearing loss indicates a problem in the inner ear, auditory nerve, or higher auditory centers in the brainstem and temporal lobe. Mixed hearing loss designates that the hearing …

Causes for conductive hearing loss include blockage of the ear canal, a hole in the tympanic membrane, problems with the ossicles, or fluid in the space between the eardrum and …

Feb 13, 2025 · Researchers measured and compared binaural pitch fusion changes among children of varying ages and developmental stages. After long-term follow ups, they then …

We know that different frequencies of sound waves are associated with differences in our perception of the pitch of those sounds. Low-frequency sounds are lower pitched, and high …

People with hearing loss, and especially those with cochlear implants, often suffer from a deficit in pitch perception abilities (McDermott, 2004; Oxenham, 2008). A better understanding of the …
