The frequency-following response, or FFR, is a neurophysiological response to sound that
precisely reflects the ongoing dynamics of sound. It can be used to study the integrity and …

Purpose Speech-evoked neurophysiological responses are often collected to answer
clinically and theoretically driven questions concerning speech and language processing …

When we grow older, understanding speech in noise becomes more challenging. Research
has demonstrated the role of auditory temporal and cognitive deficits in these age-related …

Age-related deficits in speech-in-noise understanding pose a significant problem for older
adults. Despite the vast number of studies conducted to investigate the neural mechanisms …

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' …

Hearing impairment goes with speech perception difficulties, presumably not only because
of poor hearing sensitivity but also because of altered central auditory processing. Critical …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to identify the effects of auditory deprivation (age-
related hearing loss) and auditory stimulation (history of hearing aid use) on the neural …

Hearing in noisy environments is a complicated task that engages attention, memory,
linguistic knowledge, and precise auditory-neurophysiological processing of sound …

Objectives: The aims of this study were to systematically explore the effects of stimulus
duration, background (quiet versus noise), and three consonant–vowels on speech-auditory …

Phase-locked responses are vital for auditory perception and they may vary with
participants' arousal state and age. Two phase-locked neural responses that reflect fine …
