Perceptual and neurophysiological enhancements in linguistic processing in musicians
suggest that domain specific experience may enhance neural resources recruited for …

Despite their remarkable clinical success, cochlear-implant listeners today still receive
spectrally degraded information. Much research has examined normally hearing adult …

In everyday listening situations, speech perception is challenged by interfering noise and
other adverse room acoustics (eg, reverberation). These intrusions hinder verbal …

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 …

Long-term language and music experience enhances neural representation of temporal
attributes of pitch in the brainstem and auditory cortex in favorable listening conditions …

This study assessed the effects of speech misidentification and cognitive processing errors
in normal-hearing adults listening to degraded auditory input signals simulating cochlear …

Despite notable diversities, all cultures of the world share two unique human faculties: the
ability to produce and appreciate aspects of both music and language. To date, studies …

This paper describes a method for speech feature extraction using morphological signal
processing based on the so-called “slope transformation”. The proposed approach has been …
