Loss of high- or low-frequency audibility can partially explain effects of hearing loss on emotional responses to non-speech sounds

Hearing loss can disrupt emotional responses to sound. However, the impact of stimulus modality (multisensory versus unisensory) on this disruption, and the underlying mechanisms responsible, are unclear. The purposes of this project were to evaluate the effects of stimulus modality and filtering on emotional responses to non-speech stimuli. It was hypothesized that low- and high-pass filtering would result in less extreme ratings, but only for …
