After controlling for the mean pure-tone threshold at speech-relevant frequencies, activity in the left POp and preCG/postCG showed a trend of correlation with accuracy in older adults (partial r =0.604 and 0.612, uncorrected P =0.017 and 0.015, respectively, FDR-corrected P >0.05).

A 6 (SNR) × 2 (group) mixed ANOVA on arcsine-transformed 22 accuracy revealed that older adults were less accurate than young adults irrespective of SNR ( F 1,30 =19.48, P <0.001), and accuracy increased with increasing SNR in both groups ( F 5,150 =399.10, P <0.001), with a marginally significant group × SNR interaction ( F 5,150 =2.21, P =0.056, Fig. 1b ).
