| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Older adults often have more difficulty understanding speech than younger adults do, particularly in the presence of noise. Such age-related speech perception difficulties may be related to declines in central auditory processing. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that impaired auditory processing might be related to neural dysynchrony. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stimulus intensity and noise on the N1-P2 response in younger and older normal-hearing adults. METHODS: Eight younger and 8 older normal-hearing adults participated in this study. Brief 100-ms tones (1.0 kHz, 100-60 dB SPL) in quiet and in continuous broadband noise (70 dB SPL) were used to evoke the N1-P2 responses. The N1-P2 components were analyzed as a function of stimulus intensity in both groups. RESULTS: N1 latencies to tones in quiet for older adults were delayed only at 60 dB SPL compared with those for younger adults. Additionally, N1 latencies to tones in noise were prolonged in older adults compared with those in younger adults even at 70 dB SPL (SNR = 0). No significant age effects were observed for the P2 latencies and N1-P2 amplitudes between the groups. CONCLUSION: N1 latency to tones with lower intensity and noise were delayed in older adults compared with those in younger adults. These stimulus intensity and noise issues can affect synchronized neural activity underlying the auditory processing and may provide a partial explanation for the difficulties shown by older adults in understanding speech. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
