The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) is a non-invasive index of the fidelity of
sound encoding in the brain, and is used to study the integrity, plasticity, and behavioral …

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 …

Human experience often involves continuous sensory information that unfolds over time.
This is true in particular for speech comprehension, where continuous acoustic signals are …

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 …

When selectively attending to a speech stream in multi-talker scenarios, low-frequency
cortical activity is known to synchronize selectively to fluctuations in the attended speech …

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 …

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 …

Healthy aging is accompanied by listening difficulties, including decreased speech
comprehension, that stem from an ill-understood combination of sensory and cognitive …

Elevated hearing thresholds in hearing impaired adults are usually compensated by
providing amplification through a hearing aid. In spite of restoring hearing sensitivity …

Recent studies provide evidence for changes in audiovisual perception as well as for
adaptive cross-modal auditory cortex plasticity in older individuals with high-frequency …
