Development of cortical auditory processing and its association with speech understanding from childhood to adulthood

The maturation of the auditory system is critical for the development of speech perception from childhood through early adulthood. However, the developmental trajectories and behavioral significance of cortical responses to speech sounds, particularly in relation to frequency specificity, remain poorly understood. Here...

Associations between semantic context in speech recognition, spatial release from masking, and executive functioning in children using bilateral cochlear implants and typical hearing children

Investigation of the effects of semantic context on speech recognition and spatial release from masking in children with bilateral cochlear implants and age-matched typical hearing children revealed that children with BiCIs and TH may rely on both semantic and spatial cues differently to recognize degraded speech.
