Age-related deficits in speech-in-noise understanding pose a significant problem for older
adults. Despite the vast number of studies conducted to investigate the neural mechanisms …

When we grow older, understanding speech in noise becomes more challenging. Research
has demonstrated the role of auditory temporal and cognitive deficits in these age-related …

Abstract Speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension deficits in older adults have been linked to
changes in both subcortical and cortical auditory evoked responses. However, older adults' …

Aging results in a loss of sensory function, and the effects of hearing impairment can be
especially devastating due to reduced communication ability. Older adults with hearing loss …

Speech perception difficulties are common among elderlies; yet the underlying neural
mechanisms are still poorly understood. New empirical evidence suggesting that brain …

Current estimates of the prevalence of age-related hearing loss among those over 65 years
in the US converge on an overall prevalence rate of approximately 50%, suggesting that …

Objectives: Previous research has attributed older adults' difficulty with perceiving speech in
noise to peripheral hearing loss. However, recent studies have suggested a more complex …

The ability to understand speech is significantly degraded by aging, particularly in noisy
environments. One way that older adults cope with this hearing difficulty is through the use of …

Humans have a remarkable ability to track and understand speech in unfavorable
conditions, such as in background noise, but speech understanding in noise does …

Objective: We investigated a neural basis of speech-in-noise perception in older adults.
Hearing loss, the third most common chronic condition in older adults, is most often …
