Age-group differences in speech identification despite matched audiometrically normal hearing: Contributions from auditory temporal processing and cognition

Hearing loss with increasing age adversely affects the ability to understand speech, an effect that results partly from reduced audibility. The aims of this study were to establish whether aging reduces speech intelligibility for listeners with normal audiograms, and, if so, to assess the relative c...
