Amplitude modulation frequency selectivity in older listeners with normal and impaired hearing
Jonathan Regev1, Johannes Zaar1,2, Helia Relaño-Iborra1,3, Torsten Dau11Hearing Systems Section, Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark2Eriksholm Research Centre, Snekkersten, Denmark3Cognitive Systems Section, Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark The concept of a modulation filterbank has been shown to account well for psychophysical …

Auditory cortical plasticity and temporal processing in older adulthood
Björn Herrmann1,2, Vanessa C. Irsik3, Ingrid S. Johnsrude3,41Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest, Toronto, Canada2Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada3Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada4School of Communication Sciences & Disorders, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada It is increasingly clear that age-related hearing impairment is a dysfunction of the entire auditory system, …
Neural speech processing in the aging auditory brain
Jonathan Z. Simon1,2,31Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, U.S.A.2Department of Biology, University of Maryland, College Park, U.S.A.3Institute for Systems Research, University of Maryland, College Park, U.S.A. Compared to young adults, older adults often have increased difficulty comprehending speech, especially in challenging acoustic environments. However, previous research has surprisingly found that …
Looking for the unhidden features of ‘hidden hearing loss’ in speech-in-noise performance
Stuart Rosen1, Tim Schoof1, Tim Green11UCL Speech, Hearing & Phonetic Sciences, London, U.K. Much interest surrounds the possible contribution of synaptopathy and/or neuropathy (SNpathy) to hearing difficulties that occur despite normal audiometric thresholds. We made extensive measurements in two groups of listeners with near-normal audiograms who were expected to differ greatly in the likelihood of …
