Frequency-following responses (FFRs) are neurophonic potentials that provide a window
into the encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech/music), auditory disorders, and …

Humans have a remarkable ability to track and understand speech in unfavorable
conditions, such as in background noise, but speech understanding in noise does …

Spoken language is rarely heard in silence, and a great deal of interest in psychoacoustics
has focused on the ways that the perception of speech is affected by properties of masking …

Understanding speech in noise is one of the most complex activities encountered in
everyday life, relying on peripheral hearing, central auditory processing, and cognition …

Musical training is associated with a myriad of neuroplastic changes in the brain, including
more robust and efficient neural processing of clean and degraded speech signals at …

Purpose A growing body of evidence suggests that military service members and military
veterans are at risk for deficits in central auditory processing. Risk factors include exposure …

Anecdotally, middle-aged listeners report difficulty conversing in social settings, even when
they have normal audiometric thresholds [1–3]. Moreover, young adult listeners with" …

Previous studies suggest that at poorer signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), auditory cortical event-
related potentials are weakened, prolonged, and show a shift in the functional lateralization …

Perceiving speech-in-noise (SIN) demands precise neural coding between brainstem and
cortical levels of the hearing system. Attentional processes can then select and prioritize task …

Speech perception in background noise is a common challenge across individuals and
health conditions (eg, hearing impairment, aging, etc.). Both behavioral and physiological …
