The chinchilla animal model for noise-induced hearing loss has an extensive history
spanning more than 50 years. Many behavioral, anatomical, and physiological …

Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

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 …

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 …

Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss often report frustration with speech being loud
but not clear, especially in background noise. Despite advanced digital technology, hearing …

Recent perceptual studies suggest that listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
have a reduced ability to use temporal fine-structure cues, whereas the effects of SNHL on …

Objective: Listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) typically experience reduced
speech perception, which is not completely restored with amplification. This likely occurs …

There is much debate on how the spectrotemporal modulations of speech (or its
spectrogram) are encoded in the responses of the auditory nerve, and whether speech …

Understanding speech in noisy environments is often taken for granted; however, this task is
particularly challenging for people with cochlear hearing loss, even with hearing aids or …
