Objectives: Cochlear implant (CI) signal processing degrades the spectral components of
speech. This requires CI users to rely primarily on temporal cues, specifically, amplitude …

Purpose The goal of this study was to determine how various aspects of cognition predict
speech recognition ability across different levels of speech vocoding within a single group of …

Purpose: When listening to speech under adverse conditions, older adults, even with “age-
normal” hearing, face challenges that may lead to poorer speech recognition than their …

Objectives: As people age, they experience reduced temporal processing abilities. This
results in poorer ability to understand speech, particularly for degraded input signals …

This study investigated the ability to use cues contained within vowel and consonant
segments by older listeners with normal or impaired hearing. Spectral shaping restored …

Speech recognition is diminished when a listener has an auditory temporal processing
deficit. Such deficits have been found in listeners over 65 years old with normal hearing …

Noise vocoding was used to investigate the ability of younger and older adults with normal
audiometric thresholds in the speech range to use amplitude envelope cues to identify …

Although much is known about how normal-hearing listeners process spoken words under
ideal listening conditions, little is known about how a degraded signal, such as speech …

When listening to degraded speech, such as speech delivered by a cochlear implant (CI),
listeners make use of top-down linguistic knowledge to facilitate speech recognition. Lexical …

Temporal information provided by cochlear implants enables successful speech perception
in quiet, but limited spectral information precludes comparable success in voice perception …
