Effects of spectral manipulations of music mixes on musical scene analysis abilities of hearing-impaired listeners. by Aravindan Joseph Benjamin, Kai Siedenburg

“…Contrarily, performance in detecting Bass was arguably the worst among yNH (Mdn = 67.5% IQR = 60-75%) and oHI (Mdn = 60%, IQR = 50-66.3%), with the latter even performing close to chance-levels of 50% accuracy. Predictions from a generalized linear mixed-effects model indicated that for every decibel increase in hearing loss level, the odds of correctly detecting the target decreased by 3%. …”
