Functional Spatial Boundaries in Auditory Scene Analysis
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders
3/3/2023-3/2/2028
Amount: $1,640,185 direct costs
Age-related hearing loss affects a large share of the population and can have debilitating consequences with respect to productivity, social isolation, and mental health. The purpose of this research is to use sophisticated behavioral and electrophysiological methods to investigate how aging and hearing loss impact our ability to understand speech in noise. This 5-year award will quantify mechanisms of stream segregation (perceiving acoustic figure from ground), identify corresponding deficits associated with age and hearing loss, and explore potential treatment strategies with hearing aids. The experiments to be completed will: (1) precisely characterize individual binaural and spatial segregation boundaries; (2) define the neural circuitry and patterns of activity underlying the influence of spatial cues on stream segregation; (3) discover the relationship between binaural segregation boundaries, individual differences, and the effects of aging and hearing loss; and (4) investigate the relationship between individual suprathreshold hearing abilities and specific hearing aid processing technology.
