Abstract
Envelope and periodicity cues may provide redundant, additive, or synergistic benefits to speech recognition. The contributions of these cues may change under different listening conditions and may differ for younger and older adults. To address these questions, younger and older adults with normal hearing listened to interrupted sentences containing different combinations of envelope and periodicity cues in quiet and with a competing talker. Envelope and periodicity cues improved speech recognition for both groups, and their benefits were additive when both cues were available. Envelope cues were particularly important for older adults and for sentences with a competing talker.
