Cochlear neural degeneration in middle-aged adults with normal-hearing thresholds is associated with increased listening effort and behavioral deficits in challenging acoustic environments.

This Collection welcomes original research articles from Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience focusing on all aspects of auditory processing and ...

Abstract. Speech perception can decline in middle age even when hearing thresholds remain normal, and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not well understood. In line with the age-related ne...

The auditory system is unique among sensory systems in its ability to phase lock to and precisely follow very fast cycle-by-cycle fluctuations in t...

Scientific Reports - Sensory representations and pupil-indexed listening effort provide complementary contributions to multi-talker speech intelligibility

Hearing-impaired listeners struggle to understand speech in noise, even when using cochlear implants (CIs) or hearing aids. Successful listening in noisy enviro

Damage to the synapses connecting hair cells to the auditory nerve leads to undetected hearing impairments.

Communications Biology - Combining dynamic amplitude modulated stimuli with spectrally specific analyses yield rapid and robust diagnostic metrics for neural assessment of auditory temporal...
