Music training may strengthen auditory skills that help children not only in musical
performance but in everyday communication. Comparisons of musicians and non-musicians …

Musicians have increased resilience to the effects of noise on speech perception and its
neural underpinnings. We do not know, however, how early in life these enhancements …

For children, learning often occurs in the presence of background noise. As such, there is
growing desire to improve a child's access to a target signal in noise. Given adult musicians' …

Purpose A growing body of evidence suggests that long-term music training provides
benefits to auditory abilities for typical-hearing adults and children. The purpose of this study …

Should music be a priority in public education? One argument for teaching music in school
is that private music instruction relates to enhanced language abilities and neural function …

As musicians have been shown to have a range of superior auditory skills to non-musicians
(eg, pitch discrimination ability), it has been hypothesized by many researchers that music …

Musicians are often reported to have enhanced neurophysiological functions, especially in
the auditory system. Musical training is thought to improve nervous system function by …

The ability to understand speech in the presence of competing sound sources is an
important neuroscience question in terms of how the nervous system solves this …

Objective: To investigate the effect of musical training on speech-in-noise (SIN)
performance, a complex task requiring the integration of working memory and stream …

CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE-BASED LEARNING disorders show impaired processing of
speech in challenging listening environments, suggesting a noise-exclusion deficit. Musical …
