Listening effort and fatigue among cochlear implant users: a scoping review [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionIn challenging listening situations, speech perception with a cochlear implant (CI) remains demanding and requires high levels of listening effort, which can lead to increased levels of listening-related fatigue.

Listening effort in children and adults in classroom noise [PDF]

Scientific Reports
It is well known that hearing in noisy situations is more challenging than in quiet environments. This holds true for adults and especially for children.

Sensory representations and pupil-indexed listening effort provide complementary contributions to multi-talker speech intelligibility [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Multi-talker speech intelligibility requires successful separation of the target speech from background speech. Successful speech segregation relies on bottom-up neural coding fidelity of sensory information and top-down effortful listening.

Listening to two-talker conversations in quiet settings: the role of listeners’ cognitive processing capabilities for memory and listening effort [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Listening to conversing talkers in quiet environments and remembering the content is a common activity. However, research on the cognitive demands involved is limited.

Individual characteristics moderate listening effort in noisy classrooms [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Comprehending the teacher’s message when other students are chatting is challenging. Even though the sound environment is the same for a whole class, differences in individual performance can be observed, which might depend on a variety of personal ...

Listening Effort in Tinnitus: A Pilot Study Employing a Light EEG Headset and Skin Conductance Assessment during the Listening to a Continuous Speech Stimulus under Different SNR Conditions

Brain Sciences, 2023
Background noise elicits listening effort. What else is tinnitus if not an endogenous background noise? From such reasoning, we hypothesized the occurrence of increased listening effort in tinnitus patients during listening tasks.

Effects of Digital Noise Reduction Processing on Subjective and Objective (Pupillometry) Assays of Listening Effort [PDF]

Audiology Research
Background/Objectives: Although research has demonstrated the positive impacts of hearing aid (HA) digital noise reduction (DNR), limited research is available on the impacts of the strength of DNR on listening effort. This study evaluated the effects of

Music in noise recognition: An EEG study of listening effort in cochlear implant users and normal hearing controls.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Despite the plethora of studies investigating listening effort and the amount of research concerning music perception by cochlear implant (CI) users, the investigation of the influence of background noise on music processing has never been performed ...

Exposure to nonnative-accented speech reduces listening effort and improves social judgments of the speaker

Scientific Reports, 2023
Prior research has revealed a native-accent advantage, whereby nonnative-accented speech is more difficult to process than native-accented speech. Nonnative-accented speakers also experience more negative social judgments.

Increased listening effort and cochlear neural degeneration underlie speech-in-noise deficits in normal-hearing middle-aged adults. [PDF]

Elife
Middle age represents a critical period of accelerated brain changes and provides a window for early detection and intervention in age-related neurological decline.
