This study shows that deficits in extended high-frequency hearing reduce cortical response amplitudes to speech, even in young adults, and highlights the need to include EHF hearing in clinical assessments and hearing aid design.

The paper examines how aging and hearing impairment affect speech encoding and phoneme discrimination using EEG and behavioral tests, finding age-related declines in high-frequency envelope coding but preserved low-frequency encoding.

This paper optimizes the mTRF framework to better isolate neural responses to speech variables by improving preprocessing and introducing cyclic permutations.

The paper investigates how neural adaptation and processing speed affect speech comprehension, showing these factors are critical even when hearing thresholds and age are controlled for.

This study examines how age and hearing loss affect neural processing of phonemes, finding that temporal delay of EEG responses increases with age and high-frequency hearing loss, correlating with speech comprehension.
