Abstract
Studies of persons with conductive hearing loss have revealed substantial degradations in binaural hearing abilities. Described here is a model based on the hypothesis that this degradation is due to high levels of bone-conducted signals relative to air-conducted signals. The model makes quantitative predictions for the effects of conductive impairment on measurements of interaural discrimination. Qualitative predictions for binaural advantages in detection and speech intelligibility are also made by employing auxiliary models. Generally, available data are consistent with the models, although strong tests have not yet been performed.
