Abstract
This study shows that older adults have more difficulty than younger adults in focusing on relevant sounds, especially when switching their focus of attention between different interlocutors. Our findings suggest that in the ageing population attentional deficit contributes more than sensory decline to listening impairments in multi-talker environments.
