People with sensorineural hearing loss generally suffer from a reduced ability to understand
speech in complex acoustic listening situations, particularly when background noise is …

Background: It is widely believed that suprathreshold distortions in auditory processing
contribute to the speech recognition deficits experienced by hearing-impaired (HI) listeners …

Temporal fine structure (TFS) sensitivity, frequency selectivity, and speech reception in noise
were measured for young normal-hearing (NHY), old normal-hearing (NHO), and hearing …

Poor speech understanding in noise by hearing-impaired (HI) listeners is only partly
explained by elevated audiometric thresholds. Suprathreshold-processing impairments such …

Frequency selectivity, temporal fine-structure (TFS) processing, and speech reception were
assessed for six normal-hearing (NH) listeners, ten sensorineurally hearing-impaired (HI) …

The ability to understand speech in quiet and in a steady noise was measured for 26
listeners with audiometric thresholds below 30 dB HL for frequencies up to 3 kHz and …

Background: Hearing loss and age interfere with the auditory system's ability to process
temporal changes in the acoustic signal. A key unresolved question is whether high …

Temporal processing of suprathreshold sounds was examined in a group of young
normalhearing subjects (mean age of 26.0 years), and in three groups of older subjects …

The audiogram predicts< 30% of the variance in speech-reception thresholds (SRTs) for
hearing-impaired (HI) listeners fitted with individualized frequency-dependent gain. The …

This paper describes low-frequency auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) to speech-
weighted noise stimuli. The effect of modulation frequency was evaluated within the …
