During hearing, acoustic signals travel up the ascending auditory pathway from the cochlea
to auditory cortex; efferent connections provide descending feedback. In human listeners …

Objective: Considerable unexplained variability and large individual differences exist in
speech recognition outcomes for postlingually deaf adults who use cochlear implants (CIs) …

Method A narrative review summarized previously reported data on age-related changes in
auditory processing and in cognitive processes with a focus on spoken language …

This study examined how semantically related information facilitates the intelligibility of
spoken sentences in the presence of masking sound, and how this facilitation is influenced …

Adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients demonstrate a reliable relationship between spectral
modulation detection and speech understanding. Prior studies documenting this relationship …

The objective of this study was regarding sensory and cognitive interactions in older adults
published since 2009, the approximate date of the most recent reviews on this topic. After an …

During speech communication, both environmental noise and nonnative accents can create
adverse conditions for the listener. Individuals recruit additional cognitive, linguistic, and/or …

Background/Study Context: Older adults, especially those with reduced hearing acuity, can
make good use of linguistic context in word recognition. Less is known about the effects of …

Speech perception abilities vary substantially across listeners, particularly in adverse
conditions including those stemming from environmental degradation (eg, noise) or from …

It is well established that emotion recognition of facial expressions declines with age, but
evidence for age-related differences in vocal emotions is more limited. This is especially true …
