The neural consequences of age-related hearing loss
JE Peelle, A Wingfield - Trends in neurosciences, 2016 - cell.com
During hearing, acoustic signals travel up the ascending auditory pathway from the cochlea
to auditory cortex; efferent connections provide descending feedback. In human listeners …

Hearing loss in older adults affects neural systems supporting speech comprehension
Hearing loss is one of the most common complaints in adults over the age of 60 and a major
contributor to difficulties in speech comprehension. To examine the effects of hearing ability …

Afferent-efferent connectivity between auditory brainstem and cortex accounts for poorer speech-in-noise comprehension in older adults
Abstract Speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension deficits in older adults have been linked to
changes in both subcortical and cortical auditory evoked responses. However, older adults' …
