Altered neural encoding of vowels in noise does not affect behavioral vowel discrimination in gerbils with age-related hearing loss
IntroductionUnderstanding speech in a noisy environment, as opposed to speech in quiet, becomes increasingly more difficult with increasing age. Using the quiet-aged gerbil, we studied the effects of aging on speech-in-noise processing. Specifically, behavioral vowel discrimination and the encoding...
