Recent advances in research and clinical practice concerning aging and auditory
communication have been driven by questions about age-related differences in peripheral …

The auditory system derives locations of sound sources from spatial cues provided by the
interaction of sound with the head and external ears. Those cues are analyzed in specific …

Older individuals often find it difficult to communicate, especially in group situations,
because they are unable to keep up with the flow of conversation or are too slow in …

Although the auditory cortex plays a necessary role in sound localization, physiological
investigations in the cortex reveal inhomogeneous sampling of auditory space that is difficult …

Spatial release from masking was studied in a three-talker soundfield listening experiment.
The target talker was presented at 0 azimuth and the maskers were either colocated or …

Gap detection thresholds for speech and analogous nonspeech stimuli were determined in
younger and older adults with clinically normal hearing in the speech range. Gap detection …

The nature of spatial representation in human auditory cortex remains elusive. In particular,
although humans can discriminate the locations of sounds as close as 1–10 degrees apart …

The ability to extract information about the spatial location of sounds plays an important role
in auditory scene analysis. The present study examined the effects of spatial separation and …

To date, most of the research on spatial attention has focused on probing people's
responses to stimuli presented in frontal space. That is, few researchers have attempted to …

The effect of perceived spatial separation, induced by the precedence effect, on release from
noise or speech masking was investigated. Listeners were asked to orally repeat Chinese …
