Objective To examine whether cortical sensory gating predicts how older adults with and
without hearing loss perform the Tracking of Noise Tolerance (TNT) test. Design Single-blind …

Objective: A common clinical complaint among older adults is difficulty hearing in noise,
even in those with normal or near-normal peripheral hearing sensitivity. Researchers have …

Older adults, even those without hearing impairment, often experience increased difficulties
understanding speech in the presence of background noise. This study examined the role of …

Objective To gather preliminary reference data on older normal-hearing (NH) adults for the
refined Tracking of Noise Tolerance (TNT) test. Design Within-subject repeated measures …

Objective: We investigated a neural basis of speech-in-noise perception in older adults.
Hearing loss, the third most common chronic condition in older adults, is most often …

Normal-hearing older adults often experience increased difficulties understanding speech in
noise. In addition, they benefit less from amplitude fluctuations in the masker. These …

Objectives The study aimed to explore the effect of sensorineural hearing loss on the central
auditory processing of signals in noise using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in …

Background: It is assumed that speech comprehension deficits in background noise are
caused by age-related or acquired hearing loss. Methods: We examined young, middle …

Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for sentences were determined in stationary and
modulated background noise for two age-matched groups of normal-hearing (N= 13) and …

When we grow older, understanding speech in noise becomes more challenging. Research
has demonstrated the role of auditory temporal and cognitive deficits in these age-related …
