The effects of hearing loss on temporal processing. Part 3: Addressing temporal processing deficits through amplification strategies: Hearing Review, 13(7)

This article is the third article on the series on auditory temporal processing deficit and describes how some temporal processing deficits can be addressed through amplification strategies. Several amplification strategies are available that can address a variety of deficits in temporal processing. These need to be applied only when a listener has poor aided speech recognition in quiet and/or noisy backgrounds. For example, when speech discrimination scores for unprocessed speech are good, fast syllabic compression that can reduce the potential effects of forward masking tends to have a deleterious effect on speech discrimination.
