Neural Alterations in Acquired Age-Related Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in older adults. Growing evidence suggests that hearing loss is associated with reduced cognitive functioning and incident dementia. In this mini-review, we briefly examine literature on anatomical and functional alterations in the brains of adults with acquired age-associated hearing loss, which may underlie the cognitive cons...
متن کاملEffects of age and age-related hearing loss on the neural representation of speech cues.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of aging and age-related hearing loss on the perception and neural representation of a time-varying speech cue. METHODS P1, N1 and P2 cortical responses were recorded from younger and older normal-hearing adults, as well as older adults with age-related hearing loss. Synthetic speech tokens representing 10 ms increments along a /ba/-/pa/ voice-onset-time (VOT)...
متن کاملEvaluation of Age-Related Hearing Loss
Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is characterized by an increased hearing threshold and poor speech understanding in a noisy environment, slowed central processing of acoustic information, and impaired localization of sound sources. Presbycusis seriously affects the older people's quality of life. Particularly, hearing loss in the elderly contributes to social isolation, depression, and l...
متن کاملAge-related hearing loss: biological aspects
Presbycusis is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases of aging caused by changes in peripheral (cell loss in organ of Corti, spiral ganglion and stria vascularis) and central auditory systems (consequent to peripheral modifications or due to changes in the neurobiologic activity underlying central processing of auditory informations) [1]. Consequences are reduced sensitivity, tuni...
