The effects of inner ear abnormality on audibility have been explored since the early 20th
century when sound detection measures were first used to define and quantify 'hearing loss' …

Many people with difficulties following conversations in noisy settings have “clinically
normal” audiograms, that is, tone thresholds better than 20 dB HL from 0.1 to 8 kHz. This …

Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise
causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested …

Recent animal studies have shown that the synapses between inner hair cells and the
dendrites of the spiral ganglion cells they innervate are the elements in the cochlea most …

Listeners in complex auditory environments can benefit from the ability to use a variety of
spatial and spectrotemporal cues for sound source segregation. Probing these abilities is an …

Auditory processing disorder, defined here as a deficit in the way sounds are analyzed by
the brain, has remained a controversial topic within audiology for decades. Some of the …

The objective of this study was regarding sensory and cognitive interactions in older adults
published since 2009, the approximate date of the most recent reviews on this topic. After an …

This study compared spatial speech-in-noise performance in two cochlear implant (CI)
patient groups: bimodal listeners, who use a hearing aid contralaterally to support their …

Objectives: The main objective was to investigate age-related differences on the listening in
spatialized noise-sentences (LiSN-S) test in adults with normal audiometric thresholds in …

We investigated changes in speech recognition and cognitive processing load due to the
masking release attributable to decreasing similarity between target and masker speech …
