Older people often show auditory temporal processing deficits and speech-in-noise
intelligibility difficulties even when their audiogram is clinically normal. The causes of such …

Age-related hearing loss affects a large and growing segment of the population, with
profound impacts on quality of life. Age-related pathology of the cochlea—the mammalian …

The spiking activity of auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) transmits information about the acoustic
environment from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Increasing age leads to …

Introduction Understanding speech in a noisy environment, as opposed to speech in quiet,
becomes increasingly more difficult with increasing age. Using the quiet-aged gerbil, we …

Pure-tone audiograms often poorly predict elderly humans' ability to communicate in
everyday complex acoustic scenes. Binaural processing is crucial for discriminating sound …

In mammalian hearing, type-I afferent auditory nerve fibers comprise the basis of the afferent
auditory pathway. They are connected to inner hair cells of the cochlea via specialized …

This dataset was collected to study the functional consequences of age-related hearing loss
for the auditory nerve, which carries acoustic information from the periphery to the central …

Introduction Age-related hearing difficulties have a complex etiology that includes
degenerative processes in the sensory cochlea. The cochlea comprises the start of the …

Endogenous glucocorticoids (GC) are known to modulate basic elements of cochlear
physiology. These include both noise-induced injury and circadian rhythms. While GC …

Age-related hearing loss (HL), or presbycusis, is a complex and heterogeneous condition,
affecting a significant portion of older adults and involving various interacting mechanisms …
