DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.797422
Abstract: Human listeners are assumed to apply different strategies to improve speech recognition in background noise. Young listeners with normal hearing (NH), e.g., have been shown to follow the voice of a particular speaker based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1160236
Abstract: Sensitivity to the temporal properties of auditory patterns tends to be poorer in older listeners, and this has been hypothesized to be one factor contributing to their poorer speech understanding. This study examined sensitivity to… read more here.
