Perception of prosody in hearing-impaired individuals and users of hearing assistive devices: An overview of recent advances
Purpose: Prosody perception is an essential component of speech communication and
social interaction through which both linguistic and emotional information are conveyed …

Neural encoding of linguistic speech cues is unaffected by cognitive decline, but decreases with increasing hearing impairment
The multivariate temporal response function (mTRF) is an effective tool for investigating the
neural encoding of acoustic and complex linguistic features in natural continuous speech. In …

Age-related changes in the perception of emotions in speech: Assessing thresholds of prosody and semantics recognition in noise for young and older adults
Older adults process emotions in speech differently than do young adults. However, it is
unclear whether these age-related changes impact all speech channels to the same extent …
