Nonlinguistic auditory abilities (e.g., stream segregation, musical perceptual abilities) are thought to contribute to speech perception in noise. How their development interacts with that of speech perception in noise remains unknown. Here, we aimed to (i) investigate the development of speech perception in noise and stream segregation and (ii) explore the relationship between musical abilities, stream segregation, and speech perception in noise throughout development. Our results confirmed the protracted developmental trajectory of both stream segregation and speech perception in noise. Importantly, they suggest that musical perceptual abilities indirectly contribute to speech perception in noise by means of improved stream segregation.
非语言听觉能力（如流分离、音乐感知能力）被认为有助于嘈杂环境中的语音感知。它们的发展与嘈杂环境中语音感知的发展如何相互作用仍不清楚。在此，我们旨在（i）研究嘈杂环境中语音感知和流分离的发展，以及（ii）探讨整个发展过程中音乐能力、流分离和嘈杂环境中语音感知之间的关系。我们的结果证实了流分离和嘈杂环境中语音感知都具有长期的发展轨迹。重要的是，结果表明音乐感知能力通过改善流分离间接有助于嘈杂环境中的语音感知。
