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

JE Peelle, V Troiani, M Grossman… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Training changes processing of speech cues in older adults with hearing loss

S Anderson, T White-Schwoch, HJ Choi… - Frontiers in systems …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Aging results in a loss of sensory function, and the effects of hearing impairment can be
especially devastating due to reduced communication ability. Older adults with hearing loss …

[HTML][HTML] Upregulation of cognitive control networks in older adults' speech comprehension

J Erb, J Obleser - Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Speech comprehension abilities decline with age and with age-related hearing loss, but it is
unclear how this decline expresses in terms of central neural mechanisms. The current study …

[HTML][HTML] Effects of aging and adult-onset hearing loss on cortical auditory regions

V Cardin - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Hearing loss is a common feature in human aging. It has been argued that dysfunctions in
central processing are important contributing factors to hearing loss during older age. Aging …

[HTML][HTML] The effects of age-related hearing loss on the brain and cognitive function

K Slade, CJ Plack, HE Nuttall - Trends in Neurosciences, 2020 - cell.com
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a common problem for older adults, leading to
communication difficulties, isolation, and cognitive decline. Recently, hearing loss has been …

Hearing loss in older adulthood: What it is and how it interacts with cognitive performance

A Wingfield, PA Tun, SL McCoy - Current directions in …, 2005 - journals.sagepub.com
Adult aging is accompanied by declines in many areas of cognitive functioning, including
reduced memory for new information. Potential sources of these declines are well …

Age-related changes in the subcortical–cortical encoding and categorical perception of speech

GM Bidelman, JW Villafuerte, S Moreno, C Alain - Neurobiology of aging, 2014 - Elsevier
Aging is associated with declines in auditory processing including speech comprehension
abilities. Here, we evaluated both brainstem and cortical speech-evoked brain responses to …

Afferent-efferent connectivity between auditory brainstem and cortex accounts for poorer speech-in-noise comprehension in older adults

GM Bidelman, CN Price, D Shen, SR Arnott, C Alain - Hearing research, 2019 - Elsevier
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' …

Age-related hearing loss increases full-brain connectivity while reversing directed signaling within the dorsal–ventral pathway for speech

GM Bidelman, MS Mahmud, M Yeasin, D Shen… - Brain Structure and …, 2019 - Springer
Speech comprehension difficulties are ubiquitous to aging and hearing loss, particularly in
noisy environments. Older adults' poorer speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension has been …
