Abstract

An attempt is made to review some aspects of the answer to the question of how acoustic stimuli are represented in the auditory system. It is shown how the representation changes with hearing impairment. Furthermore, models of the neural representation of sound in impaired ears that are accurate enough to suggest and test new strategies for hearing-aid signal processing are highlighted.
