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 …

Abstract Models of the human auditory periphery range from very basic functional
descriptions of auditory filtering to detailed computational models of cochlear mechanics …

Aging listeners, even in the absence of overt hearing loss measured as changes in hearing
thresholds, often experience impairments processing temporally complex sounds such as …

An important topic in contemporary auditory science is supra-threshold hearing. Difficulty
hearing at conversational speech levels in background noise has long been recognized as …

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 …

Electroencephalography could serve as an objective tool to evaluate hearing aid benefit in
infants who are developmentally unable to participate in hearing tests. We investigated …

Auditory de-afferentation, a permanent reduction in the number of inner-hair-cells and
auditory-nerve synapses due to cochlear damage or synaptopathy, can reliably be …

The chinchilla animal model for noise-induced hearing loss has an extensive history
spanning more than 50 years. Many behavioral, anatomical, and physiological …

Aging listeners often experience difficulties in perceiving temporally complex acoustic cues
in noisy environments. These difficulties likely have neurophysiological contributors from …

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