Auditory brainstem responses to anechoic and reverberant speech sounds were obtained from 28 elderly listeners (>62 y). Listeners with low word intelligibility of reverberant speech showed degraded encoding information of reverberant speech. The findings provide initial evidence of subcortical processing deficits in elderly listeners with difficulty in understanding reverberant speech.
