Throughout our adult lives there is a decline in peripheral hearing, auditory processing and
elements of cognition that support listening ability. Audiometry provides no information about …

The sources and consequences of a sensorineural hearing loss are diverse. While several
approaches have aimed at disentangling the physiological and perceptual consequences of …

O bjective: The aims of the current n200 study were to assess the structural relations
between three classes of test variables (ie HEARING, COGNITION and aided speech-in …

Spectro-temporal modulation (STM) detection sensitivity has been shown to be associated
with speech-in-noise reception in hearing-impaired (HI) individuals. Based on previous …

Many older adults have difficulty understanding speech in noisy backgrounds. In this study,
we examined peripheral auditory, higher-level auditory, and cognitive factors that may …

The ability of hearing-impaired listeners to detect spectro-temporal modulation (STM) has
been shown to correlate with individual listeners' speech reception performance. However …

Over the last decade, multiple studies have shown that hearing-impaired listeners' speech-in-
noise reception ability, measured with audibility compensation, is closely associated with …

Portions of this work were included in the doctoral thesis titled “Perceptual learning across
the mechanical senses” by E. Sebastian Lelo de Larrea-Mancera, University of California …

Objectives: Estimated prevalence of functional hearing and communication deficits (FHCDs),
characterized by abnormally low speech recognition and binaural tone detection in noise or …

The Better hEAring Rehabilitation (BEAR) project aims to provide a new clinical profiling tool—
a test battery—for hearing loss characterization. Although the loss of sensitivity can be …
