Interested in automated scoring of speech recall across languages? Check out this new preprint. arxiv.org/abs/2503.01045 Possibly helping the hearing sciences to use more naturalistic speech materials to assess comprehension.

New work from the lab on PsyArXiv. We show that older adults recognize less well modern AI-based speech. This seems to be unrelated to hearing loss, but rather to the processing of prosodic information in speech: osf.io/preprints/psya…

New lab work: In this study we show that natural language processing models (from Google and OpenAI) can be used to automate speech-intelligibility scoring. Intelligibility from human and NLP scoring correlate 0.95. Python code is provided. psyarxiv.com/h9mna

I think it's pretty cool when hearing aids get mentioned in a #SOTU address: "Millions of Americans can now save thousands of dollars because they can finally get hearing aids over-the-counter without a prescription." Hear, hear!!

New lab work ready biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… with @mecui22 & @bjoherrmann We show that eye movements decrease during effortful listening. We demonstrate this for sentences and spoken stories as well as under different visual conditions (fixation, free viewing, object tracking).

Newest lab work: Exploring whether modern AI-based synthesized speech may be useful for hearing research; common speech-in-noise perception phenomena are similar for AI vs human speech; and older adults notice substantially less the presence of AI speech. psyarxiv.com/umy6f

Awesome news from the Auditory Aging team. Our @CopelliFran was awarded a 2022 CGS-M Canadian Graduate Scholarship award from @CIHR_IRSC to work on neural markers of naturalistic speech. Thanks also to @rotmanresearch @UofT. We are look forward to seeing results of this research.

Dip-listening (masking release) is often reduced in older adults. We find this is the case only for disconnected sentences. Older adults benefit as much from dip-listening when listening to engaging stories. To appear in Sci Rep (V.Irsik @ingridjohnsrude): psyarxiv.com/t7xf3/
