This study examines how cortical-brainstem interactions affect speech perception in older adults with and without hearing loss, finding reduced modulation in those with hearing loss.

The paper shows that exaggerated summating potentials to paired-clicks predict speech-in-noise perception and subjective hearing acuity in individuals at risk for cochlear synaptopathy.

The paper investigates how cortical α states dynamically influence brainstem speech coding during speech perception in noise.

This study investigates how acute vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects auditory learning and neural activity in ferrets over 1-2 days, finding increased learning rates and specific neural response reductions in primary auditory cortex.

This study compares age-related declines in behavioral AMF discrimination and EFRs in rats, finding greater perceptual deficits than neural response declines.
