Scientists Explore Effects of Age and Hearing Loss on Frequency of Voice Response with Electroencephalography

Article title: Cortical compensation for hearing loss, but not age, in neural tracking of the fundamental frequency of the voice

Authors: Jana Van Canneyt, Jan Wouters, Tom Francart

From the authors: “In this study we investigated the effects of age and hearing loss on the [frequency of voice] response measured with [electroencephalography]. The results indicated that response strength decreased with advancing age, but increased with hearing loss.”

This study is highlighted as one of September’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
