As musicians have been shown to have a range of superior auditory skills to non-musicians
(eg, pitch discrimination ability), it has been hypothesized by many researchers that music …

ABSTRACT Introduction Cochlear implants (CIs) are biomedical devices that restore sound
perception for people with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Most postlingually …

Plasticity from auditory experience shapes the brain's encoding and perception of sound.
However, whether such long-term plasticity alters the trajectory of short-term plasticity during …

Understanding speech in background noise poses a challenge in daily communication,
which is a particular problem among the elderly. Although musical expertise has often been …

Studies suggest that long-term music experience enhances the brain's ability to segregate
speech from noise. Musicians'“speech-in-noise (SIN) benefit” is based largely on perception …

Objective Musical rehabilitation has been used in clinical and nonclinical contexts to
improve postimplantation auditory processing in implanted individuals. This systematic …

Purpose: Hearing assistive technology (HAT) has been shown to be a viable solution to the
speech-in-noise perception (SPIN) issue in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); …

Previous research has suggested a relationship between musical abilities and the
perception of speech prosody. However, effect sizes and significance differ across studies …

Perceiving speech in noise (SIN) is important for health and well-being and decreases with
age. Musicians show improved speech-in-noise abilities and reduced age-related auditory …

Objectives: Although pitch reception poses a great challenge for individuals with cochlear
implants (CIs), formal auditory training (eg, high variability phonetic training [HVPT]) has …
