Understanding the speech-understanding problems of older adults
Purpose:
The purpose of this article was to review recent research from our laboratory on the speech-understanding problems of older adults.

The method involved a narrative review of previously reported data from our laboratory.
Conclusion:
To date, the results from most of our studies have indicated that peripheral and cognitive factors are the primary contributors to the speech-understanding problems of older adults, with the relative mix of these 2 factors changing for unaided (primarily peripheral) and aided (primarily cognitive) listening conditions.
