Speech perception in complex sound fields can greatly benefit from different unmasking
cues to segregate the target from interfering voices. This study investigated the role of three …

Speech perception is essential for daily communication. Background noise or concurrent
talkers, on the other hand, can make it challenging for listeners to track the target speech (ie …

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 …

Identification of target speech was studied under masked conditions consisting of two or four
independent speech maskers. In the reference conditions, the maskers were colocated with …

Background: Auditory complaints following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) are common,
but few studies have addressed the role of auditory temporal processing in speech …

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 …

Spatially separating target and masking speech can result in substantial spatial release from
masking (SRM) for normal-hearing listeners. In this study, SRM was examined at eight …

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 …

This study aims to determine the degree to which Portable Automated Rapid Testing
(PART), a freely available program running on a tablet computer, is capable of reproducing …

Since Parkinson's Disease (PD) primarily affects older people, a majority of PD patients
have age‐related hearing loss (HL) that will worsen over time. The goal of this study was to …
