A research project funded by the ESRC<\/strong><\/h3>

We propose to gain a comprehensive account of older people’s speech production and perception in situations involving communication with another individual. Adults with age-related hearing loss and the rarer group of older adults with normal hearing will be included as well as younger adult controls.\u00a0This project should lead to a better understanding of the effects of ageing on speech communication and of the various contributing factors to potentially degraded speech communication in a population of ‘healthy aged’ individuals. These benchmarks will be of use for practitioners such as speech and language therapists and audiologists who work on aspects of communication with older people who have health complications. Importantly, this research will also contribute to our basic understanding of speech perception and production development across the lifespan.<\/p>
