You may have also noticed that understanding others in these challenging listening situations gets more difficult as you age. When we try to understand speech, we use various acoustic cues to help us. For example, we may try to listen for the timing or pitch of different speech sounds to figure out what was said. But how does our ability to use these acoustic cues change over time? What might affect our speech perception in challenging listening environments?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">At the Auditory Processing and Perception Lab, we investigate the developmental and age-related processes around hearing difficulty and speech perception. These processes change over time as we age, and our lab studies how these changes manifest in people with normal and impaired hearing. Specifically, we are interested in how people&#8217;s ability to perceive certain acoustic cues, such as the timing of speech sounds, changes over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p>Want to learn more?
