Dramatic results from recent animal experiments show that noise exposure can cause a
selective loss of high-threshold auditory nerve fibers without affecting absolute sensitivity …

Many aging adults experience some form of hearing problems that may arise from auditory
peripheral damage. However, it has been increasingly acknowledged that hearing loss is …

Abstract The Fifth Eriksholm Workshop on “Hearing Impairment and Cognitive Energy” was
convened to develop a consensus among interdisciplinary experts about what is known on …

Hearing loss with increasing age adversely affects the ability to understand speech, an effect
that results partly from reduced audibility. The aims of this study were to establish whether …

The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) to complex periodic sounds is used to
study the subcortical auditory system, and has been proposed as a biomarker for disorders …

Frequency-following responses (FFRs) are neurophonic potentials that provide a window
into the encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech/music), auditory disorders, and …

Older adults frequently report they can hear what is said but cannot understand the
meaning, especially in noise. This difficulty may arise from the inability to process rapidly …

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 …

Objective: Clinicians encounter patients who report experiencing hearing difficulty (HD)
even when audiometric thresholds fall within normal limits. When there is no evidence of …

The human auditory brainstem is thought to undergo rapid developmental changes early in
life until age∼ 2 followed by prolonged stability until aging-related changes emerge …
