It remains unclear whether musical training is associated with improved speech
understanding in a noisy environment, with different studies reaching differing conclusions …

Recent studies disagree on whether musicians have an advantage over non-musicians in
understanding speech in noise. However, it has been suggested that musicians may be able …

Musical training has been demonstrated to benefit speech-in-noise perception. It is however
unknown whether this effect translates to selective listening in cocktail party situations, and if …

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 …

This study tested the hypothesis that the previously reported advantage of musicians over
non-musicians in understanding speech in noise arises from more efficient or robust coding …

The idea that musical training improves speech perception in challenging listening
environments is appealing and of clinical importance, yet the mechanisms of any such …

Previous studies have reported better speech-in-noise (SIN) recognition in musicians
relative to nonmusicians while others have failed to observe this “musician SIN advantage.” …

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 …

Speech-in-noise perception, the ability to hear a relevant voice within a noisy background, is
important for successful communication. Musicians have been reported to perform better …

It is now well established that extensive musical training percolates to higher levels of
cognition, such as speech processing. However, the lack of a precise technique to …
