Aging and hearing loss are associated with difficulty understanding fast speech. Here, we investigated how peripheral hearing sensitivity, neural speech representation, and cognitive processing contribute to this difficulty. For this purpose, we collected electrophysiological, cognitive, and behavioral assessments from 30 younger normal-hearing …

Predictive sentence contexts can be used to support speech understanding when words are degraded or unclear. Older adults are thought to maintain the ability to benefit from context. Because context effects are usually measured on words at the end of a sentence, …

OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to determine if performance on speech and non-speech clinical measures of auditory perception differs between two groups of adults: self-identified native speakers of English and non-native speakers of English who speak Spanish as a first …

Advancing age is associated with decreased sensitivity to temporal cues in word segments, particularly when target words follow non-informative carrier sentences or are spectrally degraded (e.g., vocoded to simulate cochlear-implant stimulation). This study investigated whether age, carrier sentences, and spectral degradation interacted …

This study evaluated whether adaptive training with time-compressed speech produces an age-dependent improvement in speech recognition in 14 adult cochlear-implant users. The protocol consisted of a pretest, 5 h of training, and a posttest using time-compressed speech and an adaptive procedure. There …

Introduction: Listeners can rapidly adapt to English speech produced by non-native speakers of English with unfamiliar accents. Prior work has shown that the type and number of talkers contained within a stimulus set may impact rate and magnitude of learning, as well …

Subsequent context in a sentence can be used to revise the interpretation of a word that was not clearly heard, a frequent occurrence in degraded speech. One strategy for avoiding the cognitive cost associated with revising an initial interpretation is to delay …

About 20% of the U.S. population, many of whom are foreign born, speaks a language other than English in the home. Non-native English speakers are known to have difficulty understanding spoken English, especially in noise. For this reason, they are often excluded …

Aging and hearing loss cause communication difficulties, particularly for speech perception in demanding situations, which have been associated with factors including cognitive processing and extended high-frequency (>8 kHz) hearing. Quantifying such associations and finding other (possibly unintuitive) associations is well suited to …

African American race and female sex are identified as protective for hearing sensitivity. The mechanisms supporting this protection are not fully understood and it is unclear whether similar mechanisms explain suprathreshold processing. Using robust linear and linear mixed-effect models, the best predictors …

Pure-tone thresholds are often a poor predictor of hearing difficulties experienced by patients in audiology clinics. Approximately 25 million Americans may experience hearing difficulties despite having audiometric thresholds within normal limits. Pupil diameter increases with increasing listening effort and could provide an …

Understanding of degraded speech can be greatly improved by using sentence context cues. While sentence context effects for sentence-final words are well known, relatively little is known about sentence context effects for sentence-initial words. It is possible that subsequent sentence context can …
