Impaired speech perception in noise despite normal peripheral auditory function is a
common problem in young adults. Despite a growing body of research, the pathophysiology …

To advance our understanding of the biological basis of speech‐in‐noise perception, we
investigated the effects of background noise on both subcortical‐and cortical‐evoked …

In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech
stream rather than the global auditory scene. Still, it is unknown whether such preferential …

Understanding speech in background noise is challenging for every listener, including those
with normal peripheral hearing. This difficulty is attributable in part to the disruptive effects of …

The alignment between low-frequency activity in the brain and slow acoustic modulations in
the speech signal depicts a core principle in present theories of speech perception—a …

Speech elicits brain activity time-locked to its amplitude envelope. The resulting speech-
brain synchrony (SBS) is thought to be crucial to speech parsing and comprehension. It has …

Background noise is detrimental to speech comprehension. The decline-compensation
hypothesis posits that deficits in sensory processing regions caused by background noise …

In August 1909, the French otolaryngologist Étiene Lombard came before a meeting of the
French Academy of Sciences to report on the phenomenon that now bears his name. In the …

Simple Summary Many individuals report difficulty perceiving speech in background noise.
Research has shown that one factor in this type of processing is the effect of noise on the …

Children are known to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise on speech
perception, and it is commonly acknowledged that failure of central auditory processes can …
