The association between hearing impairment and dementia has emerged as a major public
health challenge, with significant opportunities for earlier diagnosis, treatment and …

Published studies assessing the association between cognitive performance and speech-in-
noise (SiN) perception examine different aspects of each, test different listeners, and often …

Frequency-following responses (FFRs) are neurophonic potentials that provide a window
into the encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech/music), auditory disorders, and …

Older adults frequently report they can hear what is said but cannot understand the
meaning, especially in noise. This difficulty may arise from the inability to process rapidly …

Musicianship in early life is associated with pervasive changes in brain function and
enhanced speech-language skills. Whether these neuroplastic benefits extend to older …

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

Understanding speech in noisy environments is challenging, especially for seniors.
Although evidence suggests that older adults increasingly recruit prefrontal cortices to offset …

We investigated training-related improvements in listening in noise and the biological
mechanisms mediating these improvements. Training-related malleability was examined …

The pure-tone audiogram, though fundamental to audiology, presents limitations, especially
in the case of central auditory involvement. Advances in auditory neuroscience underscore …

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 …
