Listening Effort for Soft Speech in Quiet [PDF]
Trends in HearingIn addition to speech intelligibility, listening effort has emerged as a critical indicator of hearing performance. It can be defined as the effort experienced or invested in solving an auditory task.

Listening Effort Is Not the Same as Speech Intelligibility Score [PDF]
Trends in Hearing, 2021 Listening effort is a valuable and important notion to measure because it is among the primary complaints of people with hearing loss. It is tempting and intuitive to accept speech intelligibility scores as a proxy for listening effort, but this link is ...

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

Listening effort and fatigue among cochlear implant users: a scoping review
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.

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