Abstract
Formant discrimination experiments were performed with a group of hearing-impaired subjects who according to an audiological diagnosis had a purely sensory-neural hearing loss. The subjects were selected for their relatively fiat audiograms. Most of these subjects showed abnormal susceptibility to ambient noise with regard to speech intelligibility. Apart from discrimination in noise of signal with a formantlike spectrum, the frequency selectivity as measured by means of psychophysical tuning curves and speech intelligibility in noise was measured. Significant correlations were found between formant discrimination in noise, frequency selectivity, and speech intelligibility in noise.
