All acoustic information from the periphery is encoded in the timing and rates of spikes in the
population of spiral ganglion neurons projecting to the central auditory system …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

A phenomenological model of the auditory periphery in cats was previously developed by
Zilany and colleagues [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 126, 2390–2412 (2009)] to examine the detailed …

There is growing evidence that the dynamics of biological systems that appear to be
exponential over short time courses are in some cases better described over the long-term …

Perceptual consequences of disrupted auditory nerve activity were systematically studied in
21 subjects who had been clinically diagnosed with auditory neuropathy (AN), a recently …

Are musicians better able to understand speech in noise than non-musicians? Recent
findings have produced contradictory results. Here we addressed this question by asking …

Purpose: This cross-sectional study had two goals:(1) Identify and quantify the effects of
aging on the auditory brainstem response (ABR);(2) Describe how click rate and hearing …

Recent perceptual studies suggest that listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
have a reduced ability to use temporal fine-structure cues, whereas the effects of SNHL on …

Frequency selectivity in the inner ear is fundamental to hearing and is traditionally thought to
be similar across mammals. Although direct measurements are not possible in humans …

Introduction Understanding speech in a noisy environment, as opposed to speech in quiet,
becomes increasingly more difficult with increasing age. Using the quiet-aged gerbil, we …
