Objectives: Auditory training (AT), which is active listening to various auditory stimuli, aims to
improve auditory skills. There is evidence that AT can be used as a tool in auditory …

Background Acquired adult‐onset hearing loss is a common long‐term condition for which
the most common intervention is hearing aid fitting. However, up to 40% of people fitted with …

Introduction: Speech recognition in adverse listening conditions becomes more difficult as
we age, particularly for individuals with age-related hearing loss (ARHL). Whether these …

Objective Individuals with age-related hearing loss (ARHL) can restore some loss of the
auditory function with the use of hearing aids (HAs). However, what remains unknown are …

The effects of aging and age-related hearing loss on the ability to learn degraded speech
are not well understood. This study was designed to compare the perceptual learning of time …

The present study aimed to examine whether individual differences in baseline speech
perception could serve as predictors for the effectiveness and generalization of auditory …

Featured Application The paper provides evidence of auditory training that improves speech
perception in situations that reflect the daily challenge of speech perception in noise for …

Purpose We tested whether using hearing aids can improve unaided performance in speech
perception tasks in older adults with hearing impairment. Method Unaided performance was …

Older adults with age-related hearing loss often use hearing aids (HAs) to compensate.
However, certain challenges in speech perception, especially in noise still exist, despite …

Older adults with age-related hearing loss exhibit substantial individual differences in
speech perception in adverse listening conditions. We propose that the ability to rapidly …
