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.

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.

Evidence for causal top-down frontal contributions to predictive processes in speech perception

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Perception relies on the integration of sensory information and prior expectations. Here we show that selective neurodegeneration of human frontal speech regions results in delayed reconciliation of predictions in temporal cortex.

Functional integration across brain regions improves speech perception under adverse listening conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Speech perception is supported by both acoustic signal decomposition and semantic context. This study, using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, investigated the neural basis of this interaction with two speech manipulations, one ...

Exploring resting EEG correlates of age-related hearing difficulties

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundHearing 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

Impact of Consistency in Daily Device Use on Speech Perception Abilities in Children with Cochlear Implants: Datalogging Evidence

open access: yesJournal of american academy of audiology, 2018
Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) give children with severe to profound hearing loss access to sound. There appears to be a dose effect of sound exposure on speech perception abilities as shown by the positive influence of early implantation and CI ...

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 ...

The Motor Somatotopy of Speech Perception [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 ...
