DOI: 10.1016/j.anorl.2018.07.002
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Understanding speech in noise is a major challenge for most hearing-impaired subjects, with or without hearing aids. To overcome the weaknesses of French-language speech-in-noise tests, we developed a new instrument, with a balanced mix… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apacoust.2019.107089
Abstract: Abstract One can measure speech and noise levels separately but then the noise is not the same as experienced during the speech communication in active classrooms. In this study, the acoustical conditions in university classrooms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2017.07.006
Abstract: ABSTRACT Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested that the same may occur in humans. If so, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2018.06.016
Abstract: Background: Pitch perception of complex tones relies on place or temporal fine structure‐based mechanisms from resolved harmonics and the temporal envelope of unresolved harmonics. Combining this information is essential for speech‐in‐noise performance, as it allows… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2021.135664
Abstract: Scalp-recorded frequency-following responses (FFRs) reflect a mixture of phase-locked activity across the auditory pathway. FFRs have been widely used as a neural barometer of complex listening skills, especially speech-in noise (SIN) perception. Applying individually optimized… read more here.
