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 …

Objective: We investigated a neural basis of speech-in-noise perception in older adults.
Hearing loss, the third most common chronic condition in older adults, is most often …

The acoustic change complex (ACC) is a cortical auditory evoked potential elicited in
response to a change in an ongoing sound. The characteristics and potential clinical …

Older adults, even with clinically normal hearing sensitivity, have auditory perceptual deficits
relative to their younger counterparts. This difficulty may in part, be related to a decline in the …

A common complaint of older adults is difficulty understanding speech, particularly in
challenging listening conditions. Accumulating evidence suggests that these difficulties may …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to examine the degree to which age-related
differences in early or automatic levels of auditory processing and attention-related …

Differences in gap detection for younger and older adults have been shown to vary with the
complexity of the task or stimuli, but the factors that contribute to these differences remain …

This study was guided by the hypothesis that the aging central nervous system progressively
loses its ability to process rapid acoustic changes that are important for speech recognition …

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) investigate the relationship between the acoustic change
complex (ACC) and perceptual measures of frequency and intensity discrimination, and gap …

Neural response adaptation plays an important role in perception and cognition. Here, we
used electroencephalography to investigate how aging affects the temporal dynamics of …
