Welcome to the Auditory Aging site. The research lab is run by Björn Herrmann, a cognitive neuroscientist studying how we engage in listening and communication as we age.
Björn is a scientist and Tier II Canada Research Chair at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Hospital and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, in Canada. His research spans from mechanistic neurophysiology to real-world listening experiences in the context of auditory aging.

NEWS
Feb 2024
-
Exciting news. Our paper about the relation between hearing loss and social isolation has been accepted in Trends in Hearing (pre-print here). We suggest a trajectory-focused framework.
Jan 2024
-
In our new pre-print, we show that pupil size and eye movements index listening effort differently, suggesting different functional mechanisms. We show this for both younger and older adults.
Nov 2023
-
New paper out from the lab in Neurobiology of Aging, exploring the reliability of neural speech tracking in younger and older adults. Read more about it here.
