Sensitivity to interaural time differences (ITDs) was measured in two groups of listeners, one
with normal hearing and one with sensorineural hearing loss. ITD detection thresholds were …

Psychophysical thresholds were measured for 8–16 year-old children with mild-to-moderate
sensorineural hearing loss (MMHL; N= 46) on a battery of auditory processing tasks that …

Abstract Hearing-in-noise (HIN) ability is crucial in speech and music communication.
Recent evidence suggests that absolute pitch (AP), the ability to identify isolated musical …

Brainstem frequency-following responses (FFR) were elicited to the speech token/ama/in
noise containing only envelope (ENV) or fine structure (TFS) cues to assess the relative …

The mammalian superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON) is a major source of GABAergic
inhibition to neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC), a well-studied midbrain nucleus that is the …

Objective: Children with hearing loss experience greater difficulty understanding speech in
the presence of noise and reverberation relative to their normal hearing peers despite …

Anthropogenic noise and its impact on wildlife has recently received considerable attention.
Research interest began to increase at the turn of the century and the number of …

Older adults often have difficulty communicating in noisy or reverberant listening
environments. This temporal processing deficit is compounded by presbycusis, meaning that …

Speech-in-noise (SPIN) perception involves neural encoding of temporal acoustic cues.
Cues include temporal fine structure (TFS) and envelopes that modulate at syllable (Slow …

Objective: Injuries are responsible for 11% of global disability-adjusted life years. Hearing
difficulty may be a modifiable risk factor for injury. The primary aim was to determine whether …
