Extended high frequencies provide both spectral and temporal information to improve speech-in-speech recognition
Several studies have demonstrated that extended high frequencies (EHFs;> 8 kHz) in
speech are not only audible but also have some utility for speech recognition, including for …

[HTML][HTML] Associations between speech recognition at high levels, the middle ear muscle reflex and noise exposure in individuals with normal audiograms
It has been hypothesized that noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy in humans may result in
functional deficits such as a weakened middle ear muscle reflex (MEMR) and degraded …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating the effects of noise exposure on self-report, behavioral and electrophysiological indices of hearing damage in musicians with normal audiometric …
Musicians are at risk of hearing loss due to prolonged noise exposure, but they may also be
at risk of early sub-clinical hearing damage, such as cochlear synaptopathy. In the current …

Normal tone-in-noise sensitivity in trained budgerigars despite substantial auditory-nerve injury: no evidence of hidden hearing loss
KS Henry, KS Abrams - Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Loss of auditory-nerve (AN) afferent cochlear innervation is a prevalent human condition that
does not affect audiometric thresholds and therefore remains largely undetectable with …
