Relationship between Memory Load and Listening Demands in Age-Related Hearing Impairment by Julia Pauquet, Christiane M. Thiel, Christian Mathys, Stephanie Rosemann

“…On the neural level, as measured by the BOLD response, we found increased responses under high compared to low memory load conditions in the left supramarginal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, and left supplementary motor cortex regardless of hearing ability. Furthermore, we found increased responses in the bilateral superior temporal gyri under easy compared to difficult listening conditions. …”
