Hidden hearing loss (HHL), a recently described auditory disorder, has been proposed to
affect auditory neural processing and hearing acuity in subjects with normal audiometric …

The older listener's ability to understand speech in challenging environments may be
affected by impaired temporal processing. This review summarizes objective evidence of …

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 1237 not as a result of methodological design flaws, but rather
because the reviewers considered the disorder controversial and difficult to verify. This …

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

Purpose Degraded temporal processing associated with aging may be a contributing factor
to older adults' hearing difficulties, especially in adverse listening environments. This …

Purpose Speech is characterized by dynamic acoustic cues that must be encoded by the
auditory periphery, auditory nerve, and brainstem before they can be represented in the …

Altered sensory information processing, and auditory processing, in particular, is a common
impairment in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One prominent hypothesis …

Age-related difficulties in speech understanding may arise from a decrease in the neural
representation of speech sounds. A loss of outer hair cells or decrease in auditory nerve …

Differences in the temporal fine structure (TFS) of sounds at the two ears are used for sound
localization and for the perceptual analysis of complex auditory scenes. The ability to …

Ageing and challenging signal‐in‐noise conditions are known to engage the use of cortical
resources to help maintain speech understanding. Extensive corticothalamic projections are …
