During hearing, acoustic signals travel up the ascending auditory pathway from
the cochlea to auditory cortex; efferent connections provide descending feedback.
In human listeners, although auditory and cognitive processing have sometimes
been viewed as separate domains, a growing body of work suggests they are
intimately coupled. Here, we review the effects of hearing loss on neural systems
supporting spoken language comprehension, beginning with age-related
physiological decline. We suggest that listeners recruit domain general executive
systems to maintain successful communication when the auditory signal is
degraded, but that this compensatory processing has behavioral consequences: even
relatively mild levels of hearing loss can lead to cascading cognitive effects
that impact perception, comprehension, and memory, leading to increased listening
effort during speech comprehension.
