Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Neural responses evoked by speech stimuli may help assess hearing in infants and young children who are unable to reliably participate in behavioral hearing tests. These responses entrain to the periodicity of the speech envelope and are therefore referred to as envelope-following responses (EFRs). EFRs occur at the voice's fundamental frequency (f0; usually >80 Hz) and lower frequency (
