Word-recognition performance in interrupted noise by young listeners with normal hearing and older listeners with hearing loss.
BACKGROUND The most common complaint of adults with hearing loss is understanding speech in noise. One class of masker that may be particularly useful in the assessment of speech-in-noise abilities is interrupted noise.

The most common type is age-related hearing loss; however, many conditions can interfere with the conduction of sound vibrations to the inner ear and their conversion to electri...
متن کاملScreening for hearing loss in older adults.
The Task Force reviewed research studies on the use of screening tools to identify older adults who might have hearing loss. The recommendation summarizes what it learned about the potential benefits and harms of this screening: There is not enough evidence to determine whether screening helps people who are not aware of hearing loss or who think their hearing is worse but have not chosen to ta...
متن کاملPupil size varies with word listening and response selection difficulty in older adults with hearing loss.
Listening to speech in noise can be exhausting, especially for older adults with impaired hearing. Pupil dilation is thought to track the difficulty associated with listening to speech at various intelligibility levels for young and middle-aged adults. This study examined changes in the pupil response with acoustic and lexical manipulations of difficulty in older adults with hearing loss. Parti...
