Auditory distance perception plays a major role in spatial awareness, enabling location of
objects and avoidance of obstacles in the environment. However, it remains under …

There is currently considerable interest in the consequences of loss in one sensory modality
on the remaining senses. Much of this work has focused on the development of enhanced …

Until recently, a commonly held view was that blindness resulted in enhanced auditory
abilities, underpinned by the beneficial effects of cross-modal neuroplasticity. This viewpoint …

PURPOSE Loss of vision can lead to substantial changes in auditory abilities. It is unclear
whether differences in sound distance estimation exist in people with early-onset partial …

Highlights•Sound perception in noisy environments is a major challenge for the auditory
system.•Adaptation to sound statistics helps to form noise-tolerant neural representations.• …

Blindness leads to substantial enhancements in many auditory abilities, and deficits in
others. It is unknown how severe visual losses need to be before changes in auditory …

Compared to sighted listeners, blind listeners often display enhanced auditory spatial
abilities such as localization in azimuth. However, less is known about whether blind …

Reverberation, a ubiquitous feature of real-world acoustic environments, exhibits statistical
regularities that human listeners leverage to self-orient, facilitate auditory perception, and …

Visual spatial information plays an important role in calibrating auditory space. Blindness
results in deficits in a number of auditory abilities, which have been explained in terms of the …

When vision is unavailable, auditory level and reverberation cues provide important spatial
information regarding the environment, such as the size of a room. We investigated how …
