A common complaint among listeners with hearing loss (HL) is that they have difficulty
communicating in common social settings. This article reviews how normal-hearing listeners …

Hearing loss is a common feature in human aging. It has been argued that dysfunctions in
central processing are important contributing factors to hearing loss during older age. Aging …

Aging listeners experience greater difficulty understanding speech in adverse listening
conditions and exhibit degraded temporal resolution, even when audiometric thresholds are …

Cochlear synaptic loss, rather than hair cell death, is the earliest sign of damage in both
noise-and age-related hearing impairment (;). Here, we compare cochlear aging after two …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the processing of temporal
fine structure diminishes with age, even in the presence of relatively normal audiometric …

Aging disrupts neural timing, reducing the nervous system's ability to precisely encode
sound. Given that the neural representation of temporal features is strengthened with …

Purpose: This study was designed to examine speech understanding ability and temporal
processing in middle-aged women with normal or near-normal pure-tone thresholds …

Psychophysical data on hearing sensitivity and various measures of supra-threshold
auditory temporal processing are presented for large groups of young (18–35y), middle …

Changes in the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are known to occur in different
parts of the brain during aging. In our study we attempted to define the effect that aging has …

We investigated comprehension of and adaptation to speech in an unfamiliar accent in older
adults. Participants performed a speeded sentence verification task for accented sentences …
