Congenital deafness or sensorineural hearing loss is an often used model for the study of the inner ear regarding pitch perception and theories of hearing in general. Frequency analysis of these individuals’ hearing has given insight on common deviations from normal tuning curves, [13] excitation patterns, and frequency discrimination ranges ...

In his early career in the 1970s, Moore was mainly interested in fundamental research on loudness and pitch perception, masking effects, and speech recognition. [4] He started to consider the practical aspects and potential applications of this research in the 1980s with his work on a 2-channel compression hearing aid. [4]
Temporal envelope (ENV) and temporal fine structure (TFS) are changes in the amplitude and frequency of sound perceived by humans over time. These temporal changes are responsible for several aspects of auditory perception, including loudness, pitch and timbre perception and spatial hearing.
It is typically experienced as a secondary symptom of sensorineural hearing loss, although not all patients with sensorineural hearing loss experience diplacusis or tinnitus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The onset is usually spontaneous and can occur following an acoustic trauma , for example an explosive noise, or in the presence of an ear infection . [ 3 ]
Place theory is a theory of hearing that states that our perception of sound depends on where each component frequency produces vibrations along the basilar membrane.By this theory, the pitch of a sound, such as a human voice or a musical tone, is determined by the places where the membrane vibrates, based on frequencies corresponding to the tonotopic organization of the primary auditory neurons.
William M. Hartmann (born July 28, 1939) is a noted physicist, psychoacoustician, author, and former president of the Acoustical Society of America.His major contributions in psychoacoustics are in pitch perception, binaural hearing, and sound localization.
The temporal theory of hearing, also called frequency theory or timing theory, states that human perception of sound depends on temporal patterns with which neurons respond to sound in the cochlea. Therefore, in this theory, the pitch of a pure tone is determined by the period of neuron firing patterns—either of single neurons, or groups as ...
