Factors that can affect divided speech intelligibility
Hear Res. 2023 Dec 2;441:108917. doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2023.108917. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown that in challenging listening situations, people find it hard to equally divide their attention between two simultaneous talkers and tend to favor one talker over the other. The aim here was to investigate whether talker onset/offset, sex and location determine the favored talker. Fifteen people with normal hearing were asked to recognize as many words as possible from two sentences uttered by two talkers located at 45° and +45° azimuth, respectively. The sentences were from the same corpus, were ...

Head-related transfer functions of rabbits within the front horizontal plane
Hear Res. 2023 Dec 2;441:108924. doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2023.108924. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe head-related transfer function (HRTF) describes the direction-dependent acoustic filtering by the head that occurs between a source signal in free-field space and the signal at the tympanic membrane. HRTFs contain information on sound source location via interaural differences of their magnitude or phase spectra and via the shapes of their magnitude spectra. The present study characterized HRTFs for source locations in the front horizontal plane for nine rabbits, which are a species commonly used in studies of the central ...

NADH improves AIF dimerization and inhibits apoptosis in iPSCs-derived neurons from patients with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
Hear Res. 2023 Nov 22;441:108919. doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2023.108919. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAuditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a hearing impairment involving disruptions to inner hair cells (IHCs), ribbon synapses, spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), and/or the auditory nerve itself. The outcomes of cochlear implants (CI) for ANSD are variable and dependent on the location of lesion sites. Discovering a potential therapeutic agent for ANSD remains an urgent requirement. Here, 293T stable transfection cell lines and patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived auditory neurons carrying the apoptosi...

Temporal integration of sound motion: Motion-onset response and perception
Hear Res. 2023 Nov 29;441:108922. doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2023.108922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of our study was to estimate the time interval required for integrating the acoustical changes related to sound motion using both psychophysical and EEG measures. Healthy listeners performed direction identification tasks under dichotic conditions in the delayed-motion paradigm. Minimal audible movement angle (MAMA) has been measured over the range of velocities from 60 to 360 deg/s. We also measured minimal duration of motion, at which the listeners could identify its direction. EEG was recorded in the same group...
