Many aging adults experience some form of hearing problems that may arise from auditory
peripheral damage. However, it has been increasingly acknowledged that hearing loss is …

The older listener's ability to understand speech in challenging environments may be
affected by impaired temporal processing. This review summarizes objective evidence of …

Humans have a remarkable ability to track and understand speech in unfavorable
conditions, such as in background noise, but speech understanding in noise does …

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 …

The ability to understand speech is significantly degraded by aging, particularly in noisy
environments. One way that older adults cope with this hearing difficulty is through the use of …

Aging is often accompanied by hearing loss, which impacts how sounds are processed and
represented along the ascending auditory pathways and within the auditory cortices. Here …

Responses to a sensory stimulus are inhibited by a preceding stimulus; if the two stimuli are
identical, paired-pulse suppression (PPS) occurs; if the preceding stimulus is too weak to …

Presbycusis can be considered a slow age-related peripheral and central deterioration of
auditory function which manifests itself as deficits in speech comprehension, especially in …

Given the polarity dependent effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in
facilitating or inhibiting neuronal processing, and tDCS effects on pitch perception, we tested …
