This study shows neural envelope tracking can predict speech intelligibility and hearing aid benefit in children with hearing loss, correlating with behavioral measures and showing improved tracking with hearing aids.

This study maps the auditory-language network in children with profound SNHL using MRI, showing the language pathway's sensitivity to peripheral auditory conditions and proposing a pre-surgical evaluation framework.

The paper demonstrates that eye movements decrease during effortful speech listening, offering a new objective measure of listening effort compared to pupillometry.

This study shows that delta-band neural envelope tracking correlates with speech intelligibility in noise in preschoolers, offering an objective measure for assessing speech in difficult-to-test populations.

The paper identifies neural correlates of speech-in-noise performance in cochlear implant users using EEG and clinical speech tests, finding ERP amplitudes predict word recognition tasks better than traditional measures.

This study shows that neonatally deafened rats with cochlear implants can detect interaural time differences (ITDs) up to 900 pulses per second, challenging the notion that high pulse rates limit binaural hearing in humans.

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 identifies adaptive strategies in unilateral hearing loss patients using MMN and finds cortical differences in sound processing between groups.

This study examines how cochlear implants (CI) and normal hearing ears (NHE) interact in SSD users during auditory tasks, finding that CI improves neural responses but not task performance in free-field conditions.

This study investigates how cochlear implants affect speech in noise perception in single-sided deafness patients using EEG and a semantic oddball paradigm in noise.

This study shows that locus coeruleus activity predicts and enhances cochlear implant performance in deafened rats through behavioral and neural responses.

This study finds that listeners with cochlear implants show greater left prefrontal cortex activity during speech understanding compared to normal hearing listeners.

This study shows that magnetic stimulation using micro-coils can produce narrower activation in the cochlea compared to electric stimulation, potentially improving spectral resolution for cochlear implants.

The paper evaluates EEG measures for auditory figure-ground perception and speech-in-noise processing, finding enhanced responses for figure detection under distraction.

This study shows chronic cochlear implantation, not electric stimulation, drives macrophage infiltration and fibrosis in mice, with surgical trauma initiating the immune response.

This study examines auditory cortical entrainment in children with amblyaudia, finding reduced flexibility in neural responses to rapid sounds compared to controls.

This study shows that hearing loss is linked to delayed neural responses to continuous speech, with reduced efficiency in processing speech in quiet.

This study explores using cochlear implant electrodes to record EEG for decoding selective attention, showing single-channel EEG is feasible but less accurate than multi-channel.

This study uses reaction times to measure sensitivity to spectrotemporal sound modulations in normal and impaired hearing conditions, finding similar patterns to traditional modulation-depth threshold measures.

The paper investigates neural engagement during story listening under acoustic masking and finds that inter-subject correlation remains stable despite reduced speech intelligibility.

This study shows that aligning frequency information in cochlear implants with the normal hearing ear improves binaural unmasking in single-sided deafness simulations.

Neurofeedback training of auditory selective attention improves speech-in-noise perception by enhancing cortical responses to target speech.

This study examines how frontal lobe neuroanatomy and working memory capacity interact to affect older adults' speech recognition in noise.

This study examines age-related differences in cortical tracking of word-level speech features during competing speech and links these to speech-in-noise perception difficulties in older adults.

This study examines how selective attention affects neural envelope tracking of speech in noisy environments in older adults, finding that attention modulates later TRF peaks and relates to comprehension accuracy.

This study shows that chronic bilateral cochlear implant stimulation in early-deaf rabbits can restore neural binaural sensitivity to interaural time differences.
