TL;DR
The present results demonstrate the feasibility of objective, parallel measurement across this hierarchy and point to impaired language processing as a possible mechanism to LiD.
Difficulties understanding speech in noise remain a common complaint even among listeners with normal hearing sensitivity, highlighting the need for objective, more effective measures of real-world listening. The goal of this study was to validate the use of a novel, chirped-speech (Cheech) stimulus—continuous, natural...
Speech perception ability in a cocktail party environment is highly variable, even for people with clinically healthy hearing. The mechanisms of these differences are poorly understood. A possible reason for these differences could be due to the neural mechanisms of auditory attention. This investigation aims to quanti...
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...
Auditory attention detection (AAD) identifies which of several competing talkers a listener is attending to, a key step toward neuro-steered hearing devices for real-world listening environments with multiple speakers. Most AAD work to date has examined non-tonal languages, leaving tonal languages underexplored even th...
Background: Environmental noise is one of the most pervasive ecological health issues in modern urban settings, contributing to the onset of hearing damage but also to the development of annoyance, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular diseases, and impaired communication. For people with hearing impairment of any age, the...
PURPOSE Traditional auditory processing (AP) test batteries rarely include validated measures of spatial speech segregation, despite clinical guidelines demonstrating the importance of spatial hearing. This study aimed to explore the factor structure of nine AP tests in school-age children, hypothesizing a multifactor...
