Sounds in daily life usually have a warning or communication function, making our hearing system an essential link to the world around us. A central challenge in hearing science is understanding how the complex mixture of sound waves entering our ears is transformed into meaningful 'auditory objects' within the brain. Two studies in the field of auditory perception will be presented here. The first investigates the summary statistical perception of pitch, one of the basic auditory features, exploring how we rapidly extract core information from sound sequences and maintain it in working memory. The second study involves speech perception in listeners over 65 years of age. “Mosaic speech” is used to assess how well elderly listeners can extract meaning from degraded speech signals. In our aging society, such research may support the development of assistive hearing technologies, thereby enhancing our overall quality of life.
