The combined effects of reverberation and noise on speech intelligibility by cochlear implant listeners.

abstract：:Post-auricular muscle responses (PAMRs) were recorded in sixteen adults with normal hearing and twenty adults with sensorineural hearing loss. Click stimuli were presented at 20 to 80 dB nHL via insert earphones. Only one ear was tested in hearing-impaired subjects, but normal-hearing subjects were tested monaurally a...
