Brief Summary:

Main objective:

Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS) with fine structure coding to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without fine structure coding (TnoFS) for speech perception in noise.

Secondary objectives:

Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the perception of musical elements (contour test).

Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for speech perception in quiet

Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the qualitative preference for the listening of musical pieces.

Comparison of TFS to TnoFS for the melodic recognition
