    Interaural level differences (ILDs) impact speech recognition masking level differences (MLDs) in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired individuals. MLDs consistently decreased as ILDs increased across all participant groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Speech Perception

    Background:

    • Masking Level Differences (MLDs) are crucial for understanding binaural hearing.
    • Interaural Level Differences (ILDs) are known to influence auditory processing.
    • The combined effects of ILDs and MLDs on speech recognition require further investigation, particularly across different age groups and hearing statuses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how varying Interaural Level Differences (ILDs) affect the magnitude of Speech Recognition Masking Level Differences (MLDs).
    • To compare these effects in younger and older adults with normal hearing, as well as in individuals with asymmetrical sensorineural hearing losses.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a ten-word subgroup of CID W-1 spondaic words known for large MLDs.

  • Systematically varied ILDs to measure their impact on MLDs.
  • Analyzed speech recognition thresholds under different ILD conditions (S0N0 and SπN0).

    • Main Results:

    • MLDs showed a systematic decrease with increasing ILDs across all subject groups.
    • MLDs remained measurable even at significant ILDs (36-42 dB for normal hearing, 24 dB for hearing-impaired).
    • S0N0 thresholds were unaffected by ILD changes, while SπN0 thresholds were inversely related to ILDs.

    Conclusions:

    • ILDs significantly modulate MLDs in speech recognition tasks.
    • The findings suggest that binaural processing, as reflected by MLDs, remains functional even with substantial ILDs in both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners.
    • The differential effect on S0N0 and SπN0 thresholds highlights the specific role of interaural phase differences in binaural unmasking.
