Epidemiological studies identify midlife hearing loss as an independent risk factor for
dementia, estimated to account for 9% of cases. We evaluate candidate brain bases for this …

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

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 …

Background Little is known about the associations between vision impairment, hearing
impairment, and cognitive function. The aim of this study was to examine whether vision and …

Listeners activate speech-sound categories in a gradient way, and this information is
maintained and affects activation of items at higher levels of processing (McMurray et al …

Auditory attention is an important cognitive function used to separate relevant from irrelevant
auditory information. However, most findings on attentional selection have been obtained in …

Several studies demonstrated the association of hearing disorders with neurocognitive
deficits and dementia disorders, but little is known about the effects of auditory rehabilitation …

Purpose Speech-in-noise (SIN) traits exhibit high inter-subject variability, even for healthy
young adults reporting normal hearing. Emerging evidence suggests that genetic variability …

Introduction Children experience unique challenges when listening to speech in noisy
environments. The present study used pupillometry, an established method for quantifying …

Studies suggest that long-term music experience enhances the brain's ability to segregate
speech from noise. Musicians'“speech-in-noise (SIN) benefit” is based largely on perception …
