There is a large amount of variability in performance in masked-speech reception tasks, as
well as in psychophysical auditory temporal processing tasks, between listeners with normal
or relatively normal low-frequency hearing. In this study we used a cross-sectional dataset
collected on 102 listeners (34 young, 34 middle-aged, 34 older) to assess whether variance
in these tasks could be explained by variance in subcortical electrophysiological measures
of auditory function (auditory brainstem responses and frequency following responses), and …
