The sources and consequences of a sensorineural hearing loss are diverse. While several
approaches have aimed at disentangling the physiological and perceptual consequences of …

Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

It has been hypothesized that noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy in humans may result in
functional deficits such as a weakened middle ear muscle reflex (MEMR) and degraded …

The Better hEAring Rehabilitation (BEAR) project aims to provide a new clinical profiling tool—
a test battery—for hearing loss characterization. Although the loss of sensitivity can be …

Age-related cochlear synaptopathy (CS) has been shown to occur in rodents with minimal
noise exposure, and has been hypothesized to play a crucial role in age-related hearing …

Age-related hearing loss affects hearing at high frequencies and is associated with
difficulties in understanding speech. Increased audio-visual integration has recently been …

Introduction The present study explored age effects and the coupling of sensorimotor and
cognitive functions in a stratified sample of 96 middle-aged and older adults (age 45-86 …

Older adults often experience difficulties understanding speech in adverse listening
conditions. It has been suggested that for listeners with normal and near-normal …

Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of age-related
changes in extended high-frequency (EHF) hearing, peripheral neural function, working …

Purpose: The contributions from the central auditory and cognitive systems play a major role
in communication. Understanding the relationship between auditory and cognitive abilities …
