Background: It is assumed that speech comprehension deficits in background noise are caused by age-related or acquired hearing loss. Methods: We examined young, middle-aged, and older individuals with without threshold loss using pure-tone (PT) audiometry, short-pulsed distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (pDPOAEs), auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), steady-state (ASSRs), (OLSA), syllable discrimination quiet noise. Results: A noticeable decline of sensitivity extended high-frequency...
The ongoing controversies about the neural basis of tinnitus, whether linked with central gain or not, may hamper efforts to develop therapies. We asked what extent measurable audiometric characteristics tinnitus without (T) co-occurrence hyperacusis (TH) are distinguishable on level cortical responses. To accomplish this, electroencephalography (EEG) and concurrent functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) were measured while patients performed an attentionally demanding auditory...
Abstract Autism spectrum disorder is discussed in the context of altered neural oscillations and imbalanced cortical excitation–inhibition origin. We studied here whether developmental changes peripheral auditory processing, while preserving basic hearing function, lead to oscillations. Local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded from auditory, visual, prefrontal cortices hippocampus Bdnf Pax2 KO mice. These mice develop an autism‐like behavioral phenotype through deletion BDNF Pax2+...
Abstract The comprehension of phonemes is a fundamental component speech processing which relies on both, temporal fine structure (TFS) and envelope (TE) coding. EEG amplitude in response to has been identified as indicator performance hearing aid users. Presbyacusis may also alter neuro-electric responses phonemes, even with minimally or unaffected thresholds. Elevated reception thresholds (SRT) absence pure-tone threshold (PTT) elevation suggest central deficits. We therefore collected...
