The width of ear's temporal window and the values of VOT at the phoneme boundary between voiced versus unvoiced consonants in CV (/ba-pa/) and VCV (/aba-apa/) stimuli were measured for 7 normals and 6 sensori-neural hearing-impaired subjects. The measurements were made at the most comfortable level for each of the hearing-impaired subject, and at three levels, 40, 60 and 80 dB SPL for the normal hearing subjects. The temporal window was generally wider for the hearing-impaired subjects than for the normal subjects. The VOT phoneme boundary was longer for the VCV than for the CV contex-ts. The VOT phoneme boundary in the VCV context tended to correlate to the width of the temporal window. Based on these results, we concluded that the poor temporal resolution of the ear affects to some extent the VOT perception for the hearing-impaired subjects.
