Brainstem encoding of frequency-modulated sweeps is relevant to Mandarin concurrent-vowels identification for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners

Publication date: Available online 27 June 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Zhen Fu, Hongying Yang, Fei Chen, Xihong Wu, Jing ChenAbstractF0 contours convey the primary information of lexical Tones for Mandarin Chinese, and the processing of time-varying F0 contours is important for Mandarin concurrent-vowels identification (MCVI). In this work, we examined the relationship between frequency modulation (FM) detection of auditory system and MCVI in both normal-hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired...
