Musician advantage for speech-on-speech perception [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016 Evidence for transfer of musical training to better perception of speech in noise has been mixed. Unlike speech-in-noise, speech-on-speech perception utilizes many of the skills that musical training improves, such as better pitch perception and stream segregation, as well as use of higher-level auditory cognitive functions, such as attention.

Effects of linguistic context and noise type on speech comprehension
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionUnderstanding speech in background noise is an effortful endeavor. When acoustic challenges arise, linguistic context may help us fill in perceptual gaps.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Some people using hearing aids have difficulty discriminating between sounds even though the sounds are audible. As such, cochlear implants may provide greater benefits for speech perception.

The bounds on flexibility in speech perception. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010 Dutch listeners were exposed to the English theta sound (as in bath), which replaced [f] in /f/-final Dutch words or, for another group, [s] in /s/-final words. A subsequent identity-priming task showed that participants had learned to interpret theta as, respectively, /f/ or /s/.

Do We Perceive Others Better than Ourselves? A Perceptual Benefit for Noise-Vocoded Speech Produced by an Average Speaker. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In different tasks involving action perception, performance has been found to be facilitated when the presented stimuli were produced by the participants themselves rather than by another participant.

Exploring resting EEG correlates of age-related hearing difficulties
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundHearing loss is among the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia and has been associated with age-related decline in working memory capacity. How hearing loss might impact brain function is not yet well understood. Neural indices that are

The Dynamic Nature of Speech Perception [PDF]
Language and Speech, 2006 The speech perception system must be flexible in responding to the variability in speech sounds caused by differences among speakers and by language change over the lifespan of the listener. Indeed, listeners use lexical knowledge to retune perception of novel speech (Norris, McQueen, & Cutler, 2003).

Hebrew Digits in Noise (DIN) Test in Cochlear Implant Users and Normal Hearing Listeners
Audiology ResearchThis study aimed to compare the Hebrew version of the digits-in-noise (DIN) thresholds among cochlear implant (CI) users and their normal-hearing (NH) counterparts, explore the influence of age on these thresholds, examine the effects of early auditory ...

The Motor Somatotopy of Speech Perception [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Listening to speech recruits a network of fronto-temporo-parietal cortical areas. Classical models consider anterior (motor) sites to be involved in speech production whereas posterior sites are considered to be involved in comprehension. This functional segregation is challenged by action-perception theories suggesting that brain circuits for speech ...
