How much does language proficiency by non-native listeners influence speech audiometric tests in noise?

abstract：:The effect of inverting electrode location and stimulus perceptibility on the presence of the mismatch negativity (MMN) evoked response was investigated in 20 normal-hearing adult females. Perceptible and imperceptible frequency contrasts were employed in an oddball paradigm. The perceptible contrast consisted of an 1...
