Throughout our adult lives there is a decline in peripheral hearing, auditory processing and
elements of cognition that support listening ability. Audiometry provides no information about …

The audiogram predicts< 30% of the variance in speech-reception thresholds (SRTs) for
hearing-impaired (HI) listeners fitted with individualized frequency-dependent gain. The …

In social settings, speech waveforms from nearby speakers mix together in our ear canals.
Normally, the brain unmixes the attended speech stream from the chorus of background …

O bjective: The aims of the current n200 study were to assess the structural relations
between three classes of test variables (ie HEARING, COGNITION and aided speech-in …

Sensory and motor skills can be improved with training, but learning is often restricted to
practice stimuli. As an exception, training on closed-loop (CL) sensorimotor interfaces, such …

This study aims to determine the degree to which Portable Automated Rapid Testing
(PART), a freely available program running on a tablet computer, is capable of reproducing …

Spectro-temporal modulation (STM) detection sensitivity has been shown to be associated
with speech-in-noise reception in hearing-impaired (HI) individuals. Based on previous …

Some listeners with hearing loss show poor speech recognition scores in spite of using
amplification that optimizes audibility. Beyond audibility, studies have suggested that …

The ability of hearing-impaired listeners to detect spectro-temporal modulation (STM) has
been shown to correlate with individual listeners' speech reception performance. However …
