Studies in multiple species, including in post-mortem human tissue, have shown that normal
aging and/or acoustic overexposure can lead to a significant loss of afferent synapses …

It has become increasingly evident that human motor circuits are active during speech
perception. However, the conditions under which the motor system modulates speech …

Older adults, even those without hearing impairment, often experience increased difficulties
understanding speech in the presence of background noise. This study examined the role of …

Excitability of articulatory motor cortex is facilitated when listening to speech in challenging
conditions. Beyond this, however, we have little knowledge of what listener-specific and …

Objectives: The aims of this study were to systematically explore the effects of stimulus
duration, background (quiet versus noise), and three consonant–vowels on speech-auditory …

Previous studies suggest that envelope-following responses (EFRs) reveal important
differences in temporal coding fidelity amongst listeners who have normal hearing …

There is a large amount of variability in performance in masked-speech reception tasks, as
well as in psychophysical auditory temporal processing tasks, between listeners with normal …

Complex sounds elicit auditory brainstem response (ABR) that can reflect sustained phase-
locking in the auditory system. Common stimuli include synthetic speech sounds like the …

The present study was designed to investigate the expression and function of
transmembrane protein 16 (TMEM16A), a calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), in the …

Objective: This study aimed to characterize time and spectral domain characteristics of the
phoneme-evoked electrocochleography (ECochG) response and explore potential …
