Abstract This study investigates the potential of speech-reception-threshold (SRT) estimation through electroencephalography (EEG) based envelope reconstruction techniques with continuous speech. Additionally, we investigate influence stimuli’s signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on temporal response function (TRF). Twenty young normal-hearing participants listened to audiobook excerpts varying background noise levels while EEG was recorded. A linear decoder trained reconstruct speech from data.

The role of early auditory experience in the development neural speech tracking remains an open question. To address this issue, we measured children with or without functional hearing during their first year life after was restored cochlear implants (CIs), as well controls (HC). Neural CIs is unaffected by absence perinatal experience. CI users and HC exhibit a similar magnitude at short timescales brain activity. However, delayed users, its timing depends on age restoration. Conversely, longer timescales, dampened participants using CIs, thereby accounting for comprehension deficits. These findings highlight resilience sensory processing while also demonstrating vulnerability higher-level to lack shows that phase loss affects differently. Tracking present but weaker ones, impacting comprehension.

Abstract Binaural unmasking is a remarkable phenomenon that it substantially easier to detect signal in noise when the interaural parameters of are different from those – useful mechanism so‐called cocktail party scenarios. In this study, we investigated effect binaural on neural tracking speech envelope. We measured EEG 8 participants who listened at fixed signal‐to‐noise ratio, two conditions: one where and had same phase difference (both having an opposite waveform across ears, SπNπ ), was (only SπN ). clear benefit behavioural understanding scores, accompanied by increased Moreover, analysing temporal response functions revealed also resulted decreased peak latencies amplitudes. Our results consistent with previous research using auditory evoked potentials steady‐state responses quantify cortical levels. they confirm associated understanding, even if acoustic ratio kept constant. From clinical perspective, these offer potential for objective evaluation mechanisms, detection pathologies sensitive processing, such as asymmetric hearing loss, neuropathy age‐related deficits.

Abstract Early assessment of hearing aid benefit is crucial, as the extent to which aids provide audible speech information predicts and language outcomes. A growing body research has proposed neural envelope tracking an objective measure speech, particularly for individuals unable reliable behavioral feedback. However, its potential evaluating intelligibility in hearing-impaired children remains unexplored. This study examined through two separate experiments. EEG data was recorded while listened age-appropriate stories (experiment 1) or animated movie 2) under aided unaided conditions (using personal aids) at multiple stimulus intensities. Results delta band demonstrated that increased with increasing intensity, but only condition. In condition, remained stable across a wide range intensities, long maintained. suggests acoustic degradation signal does not necessarily impact tracking. Additionally, use significantly enhanced tracking, challenging (which would be inaudible when unaided). Furthermore, strongly correlated behaviorally measured intelligibility. Altogether, these findings indicate could valuable tool predicting benefits derived from children. Incorporating narrated engaging movies expands accessibility methods even clinical settings, offering new avenues using measures guide pediatric audiology decision-making.
