Comparing sound localization deficits in bilateral cochlear-implant users and vocoder simulations with normal-hearing listeners

H Jones, A Kan, RY Litovsky - Trends in Hearing, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Bilateral cochlear-implant (BiCI) users are less accurate at localizing free-field (FF) sound
sources than normal-hearing (NH) listeners. This performance gap is not well understood …

The auditory modeling toolbox

Auditory model based direction estimation of concurrent speakers from binaural signals

M Dietz, SD Ewert, V Hohmann - Speech Communication, 2011 - Elsevier

The influence of different segments of the ongoing envelope on sensitivity to interaural time delays

M Klein-Hennig, M Dietz, V Hohmann… - The Journal of the …, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
The auditory system is sensitive to interaural timing disparities in the fine structure and the
envelope of sounds, each contributing important cues for lateralization. In this study …

Frequency dependence of sensitivity to interaural phase differences in pure tones

J Klug, M Dietz - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
It is well established that in normal-hearing humans, the threshold of interaural time
differences for pure tones increases dramatically above about 1300 Hz, only to become …

Neural representation of interaural time differences in humans—An objective measure that matches behavioural performance

JA Undurraga, NR Haywood, T Marquardt… - Journal of the …, 2016 - Springer
Humans, and many other species, exploit small differences in the timing of sounds at the two

Improvements of Sound Localization Abilities by the Facial Ruff of the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) as Demonstrated by Virtual Ruff Removal

L Hausmann, M von Campenhausen, F Endler… - PloS one, 2009 - journals.plos.org
Background When sound arrives at the eardrum it has already been filtered by the body,
head, and outer ear. This process is mathematically described by the head-related transfer …

Differences in the temporal course of interaural time difference sensitivity between acoustic and electric hearing in amplitude modulated stimuli

H Hu, SD Ewert, D McAlpine, M Dietz - The Journal of the Acoustical …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
Previous studies have shown that normal-hearing (NH) listeners' spatial perception of non-
stationary interaural time differences (ITDs) is dominated by the carrier ITD during rising …
