Brain wave changes worsen hearing in older adults study
Max Planck researchers find that aging alters alpha brain waves during speech tasks, reducing alpha amplitude and increasing listening effort in noise. In a two age group test, older adults benefited more from higher quality speech, linking brain activity to comprehension and suggesting brain‑adaptive hearing aid design.
