    Abstract:
    The effect of different types of real-life noise on the central auditory processing of speech and non-speech sounds was evaluated by the means of mismatch negativity and behavioral responses. Subjects (19-34 years old; 6 males, 4 females) were presented, in separate conditions, with either speech or non-speech stimuli of approximately equal complexity in five background conditions: babble noise, industrial noise, traffic noise, wide band noise, and silent condition. Whereas there were no effects of stimuli or noise on the behavioral responses, the MMN results revealed that speech and non-speech sounds are processed differently both in silent and noisy conditions. Speech processing was more affected than non-speech processing in all noise conditions. Moreover, different noise types had a differential effect on the pre-attentive discrimination, as reflected in MMN, on speech and non-speech sounds. Babble and industrial noises dramatically reduced the MMN amplitudes for both stimulus types, while traffic noise affected only speech stimuli.
