Deficits in auditory nerve (AN) function for older adults reduce afferent input to the cortex.
The extent to which the cortex in older adults adapts to this loss of afferent input and the …

The speech we hear every day is typically “degraded” by competing sounds and the
idiosyncratic vocal characteristics of individual speakers. While the comprehension of …

Older adults often present difficulties understanding speech that cannot be explained by age-
related changes in sound audibility. Psychoacoustic and electrophysiologic studies have …

Objectives: This study was designed to examine the effects of hearing aid delay on the
neural representation of the temporal envelope. It was hypothesized that the comb-filter …

Age-related difficulties in speech understanding may arise from a decrease in the neural
representation of speech sounds. A loss of outer hair cells or decrease in auditory nerve …

Noise-vocoded speech has long been used to investigate how acoustic cues affect speech
understanding. Studies indicate that reducing the number of spectral channel bands …

Ageing and challenging signal‐in‐noise conditions are known to engage the use of cortical
resources to help maintain speech understanding. Extensive corticothalamic projections are …

Aims of the present article are: 1) assessing vestibular contribution to spatial navigation, 2)
exploring how age, global positioning systems (GPS) use, and vestibular navigation …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine if and how the subcortical neural
representation of pitch cues in listeners with normal hearing is affected by systematic …

Introduction Cochlear implants (CIs) are the treatment of choice for severe to profound
hearing loss. Variability in CI outcomes remains despite advances in technology and is …
