This presentation explores how the brain automatically separates overlapping sounds into distinct streams, raising the question of what happens to information we aren’t actively attending to. The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. Good morning. I first want to thank Karen for inviting me. I...
This presentation examines how attention shapes brain activity during listening, revealing why some people with normal hearing still struggle to follow conversations in noisy settings. https://youtu.be/H8-8W9eG-Bc The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. What I’m going to talk to you about today is sort of...
This presentation introduces a beam-forming hearing aid that uses eye tracking to help listeners focus on one voice, describing gains for hearing-impaired users but tradeoffs in spatial awareness.

This presentation traces how children learn to pick out one voice from competing speech, revealing that even school-age kids struggle with skills adults use automatically in noisy settings. The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. Thank you very much to Karen for inviting me to...
This presentation focuses on speech perception outcomes when people with one or two cochlear implants listen in test environment simulations of restaurants and cocktail parties
This presentation focuses on speech perception outcomes when people with one or two cochlear implants listen in test environment simulations of restaurants and cocktail parties The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. I’m going to talk about speech understanding in simulations of complex environments by...
I think one continuing question, and one that we’ve had for a long time is, “Why do older people have difficulty understanding speech?” What exactly changes with age? Is it hearing loss? Is it attenuation from peripheral hearing loss? Is it something else going on in the cochlea? Is it...
