Accumulating evidence points to a link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive
decline, but their relationship is not clear. Does one cause the other, or does some third …

Background: The authors reviewed the evidence regarding the existence of age-related
declines in central auditory processes and the consequences of any such declines for …

Much of our daily communication occurs in the presence of background noise,
compromising our ability to hear. While understanding speech in noise is a challenge for …

Understanding speech in noise is one of the most complex activities encountered in
everyday life, relying on peripheral hearing, central auditory processing, and cognition …

Objective: We investigated a neural basis of speech-in-noise perception in older adults.
Hearing loss, the third most common chronic condition in older adults, is most often …

Aging is accompanied by the deterioration of hearing that complicates our understanding of
speech, especially in noisy environments. This deficit is partially caused by the loss of hair …

Processing speed, or the rate at which tasks can be performed, is a robust predictor of age-
related cognitive decline and an indicator of independence among older adults. This review …

The book is concerned with changes in the perception of sound that are associated with
hearing loss and aging. Hearing loss affects about 7% of the population in developed …

Purpose Understanding speech in complex realistic acoustic environments requires effort. In
everyday listening situations, speech quality is often degraded due to adverse acoustics …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to examine the degree to which age-related
differences in early or automatic levels of auditory processing and attention-related …
