Turning down the noise: the benefit of musical training on the aging auditory brain
Age-related decline in hearing abilities is a ubiquitous part of aging, and commonly impacts
speech understanding, especially when there are competing sound sources. While such …

Predictability effects in auditory scene analysis: a review
A Bendixen - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Many sound sources emit signals in a predictable manner. The idea that predictability can
be exploited to support the segregation of one source's signal emissions from the …

Musical training orchestrates coordinated neuroplasticity in auditory brainstem and cortex to counteract age-related declines in categorical vowel perception
GM Bidelman, C Alain - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Musicianship in early life is associated with pervasive changes in brain function and
enhanced speech-language skills. Whether these neuroplastic benefits extend to older …

Age-related changes in the subcortical–cortical encoding and categorical perception of speech
Aging is associated with declines in auditory processing including speech comprehension
abilities. Here, we evaluated both brainstem and cortical speech-evoked brain responses to …

Subcortical pathways: Towards a better understanding of auditory disorders
RA Felix II, B Gourévitch, CV Portfors - Hearing research, 2018 - Elsevier
Hearing loss is a significant problem that affects at least 15% of the population. This
percentage, however, is likely significantly higher because of a variety of auditory disorders …

Mild cognitive impairment is characterized by deficient brainstem and cortical representations of speech
GM Bidelman, JE Lowther, SH Tak… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is recognized as a transitional phase in the progression
toward more severe forms of dementia and is an early precursor to Alzheimer's disease …

Older adults at the cocktail party
Successful communication and navigation in cocktail party situations depends on complex
interactions among an individual's sensory, cognitive, and social abilities. Older adults may …

Age-related hearing loss increases full-brain connectivity while reversing directed signaling within the dorsal–ventral pathway for speech
Speech comprehension difficulties are ubiquitous to aging and hearing loss, particularly in
noisy environments. Older adults' poorer speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension has been …

The effect of age and hearing sensitivity at frequencies above 8 kHz on auditory stream segregation and speech perception
The effects of age and mild hearing loss over the extended high-frequency (EHF) range from
9000 to 16 000 Hz on speech perception and auditory stream segregation were assessed …
