Extended High-Frequency Hearing Loss and Suprathreshold Auditory Processing: The Moderating Role of Auditory Working Memory
The impact of elevated extended high-frequency thresholds on suprathreshold auditory processing is influenced by working memory capacity. Individuals with reduced cognitive capacity are particularly vulnerable to the perceptual effects of subclinical cochlear damage. This suggests that cognitive resources act as a compensatory mechanism, helping to mitigate the effects of subclinical deficits, especially in tasks that are temporally challenging.
