This study investigates the role of hearing sensitivity, age and supra-threshold hearing to
speech recognition in quiet, stationary, and modulated noise. Three participant groups were …

This study addresses the contribution of audibility and suprathreshold deficits to speech
recognition in quiet, stationary, and speech-modulated noise. The relative importance of …

Understanding speech in noisy settings is harder for hearing-impaired (HI) than for normal-
hearing (NH) people, even when speech is audible. This is often attributed to the hearing …

Understanding speech when background noise is present is a critical everyday task that
varies widely among people. A key challenge is to understand why some people struggle …

ABSTRACT Léger et al.(2012) measured the intelligibility of speech that was lowpass
filtered at 1.5 kHz in background noise for a group of hearing-impaired (HI) listeners who …

Listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) report significant difficulties when listening
to speech in the presence of background noise and are highly variable in their tolerance to …

Background: It is widely believed that suprathreshold distortions in auditory processing
contribute to the speech recognition deficits experienced by hearing-impaired (HI) listeners …

There is increasing evidence that hearing-impaired (HI) individuals do not use the same
listening strategies as normal-hearing (NH) individuals, even when wearing optimally fitted …

Introduction: Normal-hearing people often have complaints about the ability to recognize
speech in noise. Such disabilities are not typically assessed with conventional audiometry …

The aim was to assess the relative importance of cochlear mechanical dysfunction, temporal
processing deficits, and age for hearing-impaired listeners to understand supra-threshold …
