Abstract
Aging reduces neural responsiveness to dynamic spectral cues. If the cue is enhanced, neural responsiveness is increased and perceptual measures are more like those from the younger listeners for some stimuli. This suggests that aging may decrease responsiveness of intact neurons as opposed to destroying neurons and/or distorting spectral coding.
