Listening effort and accented speech [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Understanding spoken language requires mapping acoustic input onto stored phonological and lexical representations. Speech tokens, however, are notoriously variable: they fluctuate within speakers, across speakers, and in different acoustic environments. As listeners, we must therefore perceive speech in a manner flexible enough to accommodate acoustic

Objective Assessment of Listening Effort: Coregistration of Pupillometry and EEG
Trends in Hearing, 2017 Listening to speech in noise is effortful, particularly for people with hearing impairment. While it is known that effort is related to a complex interplay between bottom-up and top-down processes, the cognitive and neurophysiological mechanisms ...

Listening to two-talker conversations in quiet settings: the role of listeners’ cognitive processing capabilities for memory and listening effort [PDF]
Scientific ReportsListening to conversing talkers in quiet environments and remembering the content is a common activity. However, research on the cognitive demands involved is limited.

Exploring short-term memory and listening effort in two-talker conversations: The influence of soft and moderate background noise. [PDF]
PLoS ONEListening to conversations and remembering their content is a highly demanding task, especially in noisy environments. Previous research has mainly focused on short-term memory using simple cognitive tasks with unrelated words or digits.

Acoustically Transparent Hearing Aids Increase Physiological Markers of Listening Effort [PDF]
Trends in HearingWhile hearing aids are beneficial in compensating for hearing loss and suppressing ambient noise, they may also introduce an unwanted processing burden to the listener's sensory and cognitive system. To investigate such adverse side effects, hearing aids

A Clinical Paradigm for Listening Effort Assessment in Middle-Aged Listeners [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Listening effort (LE) has been known to characterize speech recognition in noise regardless of hearing sensitivity and age. Whereas the behavioral measure of dual-task paradigm effectively manifests the cognitive cost that listeners exert when processing speech in background noise, there is no consensus as to a clinical procedure that might best ...

Speech recognition in noise task among children and young-adults: a pupillometry study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionChildren experience unique challenges when listening to speech in noisy environments. The present study used pupillometry, an established method for quantifying listening and cognitive effort, to detect temporal changes in pupil dilation ...

Listening effort and stress in tinnitus: a multidimensional approach. [PDF]
Front NeurosciIntroductionThis study investigated the impact of chronic tinnitus on auditory perception, text comprehension, and physiological stress responses, with a focus on sex-related differences. The main objectives were to assess the influence of sex and stress on tinnitus severity, examine neurophysiological indicators of listening effort, and evaluate the ...
