Auditory brainstem encoding of speech-in-noise predicts word identification, narrative comprehension, and subjective listening effort in a selective attention task.

The auditory brainstem plays a crucial role in speech-in-noise listening, refining numerous acoustic features such as pitch and spatial location under continual descending influence from cortex. However, the difficulty of characterizing brainstem activity during continuous speech listening has obscured its functional r...
