Speech recognition is remarkably robust to the listening background, even when the energy
of background sounds strongly overlaps with that of speech. How the brain transforms the …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of signal level and signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) on the latency and amplitude of evoked cortical activity to further our understanding of …

Effective communication requires good speech perception abilities. Speech perception can
be assessed with behavioral and electrophysiological methods. Relating these two types of …

Speech perception in background noise is a common challenge across individuals and
health conditions (eg, hearing impairment, aging, etc.). Both behavioral and physiological …

Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are included in guidelines for assessment of
auditory processing disorder (APD), but their diagnostic value and their use as a measure of …

It is well known that hearing abilities decline with age, and one of the most commonly
reported hearing difficulties reported in older adults is a reduced ability to understand …

Objectives: Perception-in-noise deficits have been demonstrated across many populations
and listening conditions. Many factors contribute to successful perception of auditory stimuli …

Hearing aid amplification can be used as a model for studying the effects of auditory
stimulation on the central auditory system (CAS). We examined the effects of stimulus …

Objectives: Speech perception in background noise is difficult for many individuals, and
there is considerable performance variability across listeners. The combination of …

The aim of this study was to investigate the development of multisensory facilitation in
primary school-age children under conditions of auditory noise. Motor reaction times and …
