Brain aging and speech perception: Effects of background noise and talker variability

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Speech perception can be challenging, especially for older adults. Despite the importance of speech perception in social interactions, the mechanisms underlying these difficulties remain unclear and treatment options are scarce.

Longitudinal relationships between speech perception, phonological skills and reading in children at high‐risk of dyslexia

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, 2018
Speech perception deficits are commonly reported in dyslexia but longitudinal evidence that poor speech perception compromises learning to read is scant. We assessed the hypothesis that phonological skills, specifically phoneme awareness and RAN, mediate

Speech perception and production as constructs of action: Implications for models of L2 development

open access: yesRevista X, 2021
Speech production involves an intricate set of actions. Its underlying cognitive mechanisms are thus historically seen as distant from those of speech perception, usually assumed to be a passive process.

Relationship between objective measures of hearing discrimination elicited by non-linguistic stimuli and speech perception in adults

open access: yesScientific 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.

Developmental Links Between Speech Perception in Noise, Singing, and Cortical Processing of Music in Children with Cochlear Implants

open access: yesMusic Perception, 2018
The perception of speech in noise is challenging for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Singing and musical instrument playing have been associated with improved auditory skills in normal-hearing (NH) children.

Effects of linguistic context and noise type on speech comprehension

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
IntroductionUnderstanding speech in background noise is an effortful endeavor. When acoustic challenges arise, linguistic context may help us fill in perceptual gaps.

Do We Perceive Others Better than Ourselves? A Perceptual Benefit for Noise-Vocoded Speech Produced by an Average Speaker. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Hebrew Digits in Noise (DIN) Test in Cochlear Implant Users and Normal Hearing Listeners

open access: yesAudiology Research
This 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 ...

‘Normal’ hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Understanding speech when background noise is present is a critical everyday task that varies widely among people. A key challenge is to understand why some people struggle with speech-in-noise perception, despite having clinically normal hearing.

The MedSupport Multilevel Intervention to Enhance Support for Pediatric Medication Adherence: Development and Feasibility Testing

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.
