“…In only two studies (Marston & Goetzinger, 1972;Stieht & Gray, 1969) was hearing sensitivity within normal limits. If these studies are used as a basis, the conclusion would be that age alone does not affect the perception of frequency-altered speech but does affect the perception of temporallyaltered speech.…”

“…Discrimination of LP-filtered speech has been measured by Kirikae et al (1964) and Marston and Goetzinger (1972), and discrimination of band-pass filtered speech has been measured by Harbert et al (1966) and Palva and Jokinen (1970). Marston and Goetzinger did not find differences between young and older listeners.…”

“…The elderly have demonstrated decreased performance on fast speech (Bergman, Blumenfeld, Cascardo, Dash, Levitt, & Margulies, 1976;Calearo & Lazzaroni, 1957), interrupted speech (Bergman, 1971;Bergman et al, 1976;Kirikae et al, 1964;and Marston & Goetzinger, 1972), and reverberated speech (Bergman, 1971;Bergman et al, 1976). There is disagreement about the effects of time-expanded and time-compressed speech.…”

Many aspects of auditory processing in aging listeners are poorly understood. Methodological problems encountered with the aging population, ranging from ear canal collapse to a conservative criterion, have rarely been considered in past research. The relation between pure-tone thresholds and other aspects of auditory functions is unclear. There have been few studies of frequency and temporal analysis in aging listeners. There is disagreement on the effect of age on speech discrimination abilities in various listening conditions, and the cause of speech perception problems in aging listeners has not been adequately investigated. Areas of importance for clinical consideration and auditory research with aging listeners are discussed.

“…These changes are thought to reflect changes in the central auditory system rather than peripheral changes in the inner ear and eighth nerve that are known to occur in elderly individuals. Moreover, the integrity of auditory temporal processing could have a significant effect on an elderly person's ability to discriminate and comprehend speech (Jerger, 1973; Marston & Goetzinger, 1972; Schmitt & McCroskey, 1981; Sticht & Gray, 1969). Thus, a change in the time constant for successive events in elderly individuals might contribute to their ability to perceive speech sounds in the correct order or to perceive individual time-dependent elements of the speech waveform such as voice-onset time, which requires one to distinguish events that occur in a 20–40-ms time frame.…”

Two tone bursts separated by a silent interval and imbedded in a background white noise were presented to elderly subjects (M age = 71.3 years) and young subjects (M age = 22.2 years). Subjects were required to judge when the two tone bursts fused perceptually by adjusting the duration of tone-one. The bursts were separated by six discrete interstimulus intervals of 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, or 40 ms. The tone-two burst was held constant at 100 ms. Fusion point was defined as that critical tone-one duration at which the two tones fused (were perceived as one). Elderly subjects reached fusion point at longer critical tone-one durations than young subjects at each interval tested. The function relating tone-one duration and interval conformed to an exponential curve and is discussed with respect to an exponential decay model of the inhibitory interactions of neural systems responding to onsets and offsets of sensory events.
