Tone-in-noise detection deficits in elderly patients with clinically normal hearing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
One of the most common complaints among the elderly is the inability to understand speech in noisy environments. In many cases, these deficits are due to age-related hearing loss; however, some of the elderly that have difficulty hearing in noise have ...

Impact of aging on the auditory system and related cognitive functions: A narrative review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), presbycusis, is a chronic health condition that affects approximately one-third of the world’s population. The peripheral and central hearing alterations associated with age-related hearing loss have a profound impact on ...

Music Training and Education Slow the Deterioration of Music Perception Produced by Presbycusis in the Elderly

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
The perception of music depends on the normal function of the peripheral and central auditory system. Aged subjects without hearing loss have altered music perception, including pitch and temporal features.

Functional changes in the auditory cortex and associated regions caused by different acoustic stimuli in patients with presbycusis and tinnitus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Presbycusis and tinnitus are the two most common hearing related pathologies. Although both of these conditions presumably originate in the inner ear, there are several reports concerning their central components.

Cochlear injury and adaptive plasticity of the auditory cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Growing evidence suggests that cochlear stressors as noise exposure and aging can induce homeostatic/maladaptive changes in the central auditory system from the brainstem to the cortex.

Perceived disability from hearing and voice changes in the elderly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aim: Dysphonia and hearing loss are underestimated conditions in the elderly, despite their significant prevalence (18% and 50%, respectively) and their sociopsychological implications.

Insula and Amygdala Atrophy Are Associated With Functional Impairment in Subjects With Presbycusis

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Hearing loss is an important risk factor for dementia. However, the mechanisms that relate these disorders are still unknown. As a proxy of this relationship, we studied the structural brain changes associated with functional impairment in activities of ...

Speech Perception and Dichotic Listening Are Associated With Hearing Thresholds and Cognition, Respectively, in Unaided Presbycusis

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Presbycusis or age-related hearing loss is a prevalent condition in the elderly population, which affects oral communication, especially in background noise, and has been associated with social isolation, depression, and cognitive decline.

Characterization of the ear canal bacterial flora present in hearing Aids (HA) wearing subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The use of hearing aids (HA) is considered a predisposing factor for ear microbial infections. We undertook this study to compare the presence and nature of the microbial flora inhabiting of ears of HA and non-HA (nHA) users.
