This method may support speech perception in hearing-aid users through continuous adaptation of noise-reduction algorithms. The prevalence of hearing impairment and thereby hearing-aid use increases with age. The SRTneuro estimation is based on envelope reconstruction accuracy, which has also been shown to increase with age, possibly due to excitatory/inhibitory imbalance or recruitment of additional cortical regions. This could affect the estimated SRTneuro. This study investigated the age-related changes in the temporal response function (TRF) and the feasibility of SRTneuro estimation aTrends in hearingAge-Related Differences in EEG-Based Speech Reception Threshold Estimation Using Scalp and Ear-EEG.PMC1237831021-2912Kidmose PZaar JAlickovic EChristensen CBBorges HBfalseAge-Related Differences in EEG-Based Speech Reception Threshold Estimation Using Scalp and Ear-EEG.Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of estimating the speech reception threshold (SRT) based on electroencephalography (EEG), termed SRTneuro, in younger normal-hearing (YNH) participants.
