Impaired Auditory Temporal Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus of Aged Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals.
