The older listener's ability to understand speech in challenging environments may be
affected by impaired temporal processing. This review summarizes objective evidence of …

Two aspects of age-related declines in auditory temporal processing may contribute to the
difficulties that older adults have perceiving speech in everyday listening situations: ability to …

Current estimates of the prevalence of age-related hearing loss among those over 65 years
in the US converge on an overall prevalence rate of approximately 50%, suggesting that …

This summary article commences with an overview of limitations in speech understanding of
older listeners in challenging listening situations. Recent studies are reviewed that examine …

Measures of monaural temporal processing and binaural sensitivity were obtained from 12
young (mean age= 26.1 years) and 12 elderly (mean age= 70.9 years) adults with clinically …

Older adults commonly report difficulty understanding speech, particularly in adverse
listening environments. These communication difficulties may exist in the absence of …

Objective: This experiment was designed to evaluate whether neural encoding of speech
features at the brain stem level is altered in the aging auditory system. In addition, the effect …

Numerous behavioural studies support the hypothesis that there are age-related auditory
temporal processing de cits. The effects of age on some psychoacoustic and speech tasks …

It is well documented that aging adversely affects the ability to perceive time-varying
acoustic cues. Here we review how physiological measures are being used to explore the …

Older adults understand speech with comparative ease in quiet, but signal degradation can
hinder speech understanding much more than it does in younger adults. This difficulty may …
