The literature surrounding auditory perceptual learning and auditory training for challenging
speech signals in older adult listeners is highly varied, in terms of both study methodology …

Objective: Research has found that adults with hearing loss perform worse on cognitive
testing than adults without hearing loss; however, heavy emphasis on tests involving …

Featured Application The paper provides evidence of auditory training that improves speech
perception in situations that reflect the daily challenge of speech perception in noise for …

Following an overview of theoretical issues in speech-perception training and of previous
efforts to enhance hearing aid use through training, a multisite study, designed to evaluate …

Background The presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) can impact on normal
brain function by altering normal signal transmission and determining different symptoms …

Purpose: General language abilities of children with cochlear implants have been
thoroughly investigated, especially at young ages, but far less is known about how well they …

Objective Hearing loss commonly causes difficulties in understanding speech in the
presence of background noise. The benefits of hearing-aids in terms of speech intelligibility …

Listeners manage to acquire the sounds of their native language in spite of experiencing a
range of acoustic conditions during acquisition, including the presence of noise. Is the same …

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of external feedback on perceptual learning of
visual speech during lipreading training with sentence stimuli. The goal was to improve …

Objective The study investigated how auditory training affects effort exerted by hearing-
impaired listeners in speech-in-noise task. Design Pupillometry was used to characterise …
