Age-Related and Gender-Related Changes in Monaural Speech Recognition.

Dubno, Judy R.; And Others

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v40 n2 p444-52 Apr 1997

A study of 129 older adults (ages 55-84) with sensorineural hearing loss examined the effects of age, gender, and auditory thresholds on several measures of speech recognition. Results found significant declines with age for males in maximum word recognition, maximum synthetic sentence identification, and keyword recognition in high-context sentences. (Author/CR)
