Introduction Understanding speech in a noisy environment, as opposed to speech in quiet,
becomes increasingly more difficult with increasing age. Using the quiet-aged gerbil, we …

This study investigated to which extent the primary auditory cortex of young normal-hearing
and mild hearing-impaired aged animals is able to maintain invariant representation of …

Many individuals with seemingly normal hearing abilities struggle to understand speech in
noisy backgrounds. To understand why this might be the case, we investigated the neural …

People suffering from age-related hearing loss typically present with deficits in temporal
processing tasks. Temporal processing deficits have also been shown in single-unit studies …

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 …

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 …

Older adults understand speech with comparative ease in quiet, but signal degradation can
hinder speech understanding much more than it does in younger adults. This difficulty may …

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 …

The spiking activity of auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) transmits information about the acoustic
environment from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Increasing age leads to …

The ability to recognize sounds in noise is a key part of hearing, and the mechanisms by
which the brain identifies sounds in noise are of considerable interest to scientists, clinicians …
