Abstract

Estimates of auditory filter bandwidths were examined from measurements of frequency selectivity and temporal acuity. Frequency selectivity was measured using psychophysical tuning curves and comb‐filtered noise masking patterns. Temporal acuity was measured using gap detection and temporal masking period patterns. Measurements for all four experimental paradigms were made at 500 and 3500 Hz using both normal‐hearing and hearing‐impaired listeners. The results are discussed in terms of the relation between frequency selectivity and temporal acuity as predicted by the auditory linear filter model. The results of the hearing‐impaired listeners are compared to the results of the normal‐hearing group and are discussed re: the predicted relation between frequency selectivity and temporal acuity.
