Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on auditory perception and processing, including the effects of hearing loss and aging on vocal emotion perception. It also covers the development and performance of hearing technologies like cochlear implants and implantable microphones. Studies investigate the influence of stress on auditory function, the mechanisms of hearing loss and potential rescue strategies, and the role of receptors in inner ear function. Research also examines auditory temporal resolution, the impact of repetition and hints on speech recognition in noise, and brain responses to sound in relation to sensory context and adaptation.
