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 …

Pitch is important for speech and music perception, and may also play a crucial role in our
ability to segregate sounds that arrive from different sources. This article reviews some basic …

Hearing loss with increasing age adversely affects the ability to understand speech, an effect
that results partly from reduced audibility. The aims of this study were to establish whether …

People with sensorineural hearing loss have difficulty understanding speech, especially
when background sounds are present. A reduction in the ability to resolve the frequency …

Temporal fine structure (TFS) sensitivity, frequency selectivity, and speech reception in noise
were measured for young normal-hearing (NHY), old normal-hearing (NHO), and hearing …

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 …

In social settings, speech waveforms from nearby speakers mix together in our ear canals.
Normally, the brain unmixes the attended speech stream from the chorus of background …

Frequency selectivity, temporal fine-structure (TFS) processing, and speech reception were
assessed for six normal-hearing (NH) listeners, ten sensorineurally hearing-impaired (HI) …

Speech intelligibility for audio-alone and audiovisual (AV) sentences was estimated as a
function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a female target talker presented in a stationary …

Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured with a competing talker background for
signals processed to contain variable amounts of temporal fine structure (TFS) information …
