Age-related hearing loss is associated with alterations in temporal envelope processing in different neural generators along the auditory pathway.

ABSTRACT: People with age-related hearing loss suffer from speech understanding difficulties, even after correcting for differences in hearing audibility. These problems are not only attributed to deficits in audibility but are also associated with changes in central temporal processing. The goal of this study is to obtain an understanding of potential alterations in temporal envelope processing for middle-aged and older persons with and without hearing impairment. The time series of activity of subcortical and cortical neural generators was reconstructed using a minimum-norm imaging technique. This novel technique allows for reconstructing a wide range of neural generators with minimal prior assumptions regarding the number and location of the generators. The results indicated that the response str
