Degraded TFS processing underlies older adults’ difficulty hearing speech in noise

Evidence

The effects of age and hearing loss on TFS processing may partially explain the difficulties experienced by older hearing-impaired people in understanding speech in background sounds (Hopkins and Moore 2010a , 2011 ; Neher et al. 2012 ; Füllgrabe et al. 2015 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 825
