Sensory processing is frequently conceptualized as a linear flow of information from
peripheral receptors through hierarchically organized brain regions, ultimately reaching the …

When listening to continuous speech, the human brain can track features of the presented
speech signal. It has been shown that neural tracking of acoustic features is a prerequisite …

Communication in noise is a complex process requiring efficient neural encoding throughout
the entire auditory pathway as well as contributions from higher-order cognitive processes …

Perceiving speech-in-noise (SIN) demands precise neural coding between brainstem and
cortical levels of the hearing system. Attentional processes can then select and prioritize task …

Speech comprehension difficulties are ubiquitous to aging and hearing loss, particularly in
noisy environments. Older adults' poorer speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension has been …

We investigated the impact of hearing loss on the neural processing of speech. Using a
forward modelling approach, we compared the neural responses to continuous speech of 14 …

Difficulty understanding speech-in-noise (SIN) is a pervasive problem faced by older adults
particularly those with hearing loss. Previous studies have identified structural and functional …

Early assessment of hearing aid benefit is crucial, as the extent to which hearing aids
provide audible speech information predicts speech and language outcomes. A growing …

The efferent auditory nervous system may be a potent force in shaping how the brain
responds to behaviorally significant sounds. Previous human experiments using the …

Scalp-recorded frequency-following responses (FFRs) reflect a mixture of phase-locked
activity across the auditory pathway. FFRs have been widely used as a neural barometer of …
