Frequency selectivity, as measured by 4 different methods, was compared in observers human with normal hearing and in observers with conductive (nonotosclerotic), otosclerotic, noise-induced, or degenerative hearing losses. Each category of loss was represented by 7-10 observers, who were tested at center frequencies of 500 and 4000 Hz. For each group, the following 4 measurements were made: psychoacoustical tuning curves, narrow-band masking, 2-tone masking and loudness summation. Frequency selectivity was reduced at frequencies where a cochlear hearing loss was present. Frequency selectivity was reduced regardless of the test level at which normally-hearing observers and observers with cochlear impairment were compared. All 4 measures of frequency selectivity were significantly correlated. Reduced frequency selectivity was positively correlated with the amount of cochlear hearing loss.
