Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), presbycusis, is a chronic health condition that affects
approximately one-third of the world's population. The peripheral and central hearing …

Background: The authors reviewed the evidence regarding the existence of age-related
declines in central auditory processes and the consequences of any such declines for …

Objective: A great deal of variability exists in the speech-recognition abilities of postlingually
deaf adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients. A number of previous studies have shown that …

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 …

During hearing, acoustic signals travel up the ascending auditory pathway from the cochlea
to auditory cortex; efferent connections provide descending feedback. In human listeners …

Objectives: This study aimed to determine if younger and older listeners with normal hearing
who differ on working memory span perform differently on speech recognition tests in noise …

Age-related hearing loss, or presbyacusis, is a major public health problem that causes
communication difficulties and is associated with diminished quality of life. Limited …

Hearing loss is a widespread condition that is linked to declines in quality of life and mental
health. Hearing aids remain the treatment of choice, but, unfortunately, even state-of-the-art …

Hearing helps us know where we are relative to important events and objects in our
environment and it allows us to track our changing position dynamically over space and …

Normal-hearing older adults often experience increased difficulties understanding speech in
noise. In addition, they benefit less from amplitude fluctuations in the masker. These …
