Abstract
Better spectral resolution has been associated with higher speech recognition in noise in adults with hearing loss who use hearing aids and adults with cochlear implants. However, the role of signal audibility and age on this relationship has not been reported. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of aided audibility and spectral resolution on speech recognition in noise for a group of children with sensorineural hearing loss and a group of adults with hearing loss. Higher age, better aided audibility, and the ability to detect more ripples per octave in a spectral ripple discrimination task were associated with better sentence recognition in noise for children with hearing loss.
