This study examines speech-in-noise discrimination in gerbils before and after acoustic trauma, finding improved vowel discrimination despite hearing loss and differential effects on consonant discrimination.

This study compares speech-in-noise perception in young and aged Mongolian gerbils and humans to assess gerbils as a model for age-related speech perception decline.

This study shows that Mongolian gerbils can discriminate speech sounds similarly to humans, using formant frequencies for vowels and articulatory features for consonants, though requiring higher signal-to-noise ratios.
