The frequency-following response, or FFR, is a neurophysiological response to sound that
precisely reflects the ongoing dynamics of sound. It can be used to study the integrity and …

The older listener's ability to understand speech in challenging environments may be
affected by impaired temporal processing. This review summarizes objective evidence of …

Older adults commonly report difficulty understanding speech, particularly in adverse
listening environments. These communication difficulties may exist in the absence of …

Purpose: The goal of this review article is to reinvigorate interest in lipreading and lipreading
training for adults with acquired hearing loss. Most adults benefit from being able to see the …

Healthy aging may be associated with neural degeneration in the cochlea even before
clinical hearing loss emerges. Reduction in frequency-following responses (FFRs) to tonal …

The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) reflects synchronized and phase-locked
activity along the auditory pathway in response to sound. Although FFRs were historically …

Age-related difficulties in speech understanding may arise from a decrease in the neural
representation of speech sounds. A loss of outer hair cells or decrease in auditory nerve …

Objectives The present study aimed to determine normal SNR values per age group for the
50% speech reception threshold in noise (SNR Loss) on the VRB (Vocale Rapide dans le …

Objectives: This study was designed to examine the effects of hearing aid delay on the
neural representation of the temporal envelope. It was hypothesized that the comb-filter …

Older adults understand speech with comparative ease in quiet, but signal degradation can
hinder speech understanding much more than it does in younger adults. This difficulty may …
